ball base couple guys hitting needed plays
Offensively, we did what we had to do. We got some guys on base and were hitting the ball alright, but we needed to make a couple more plays in the field.

The kids were more worried if we had mustard for sandwiches before we even got out of the gym. They forgot about it.
happiness happy hard proud says works
He just works hard and never says much. I'm just very proud and happy for him.
attempting bright pitchers six strikes struck threw
Defensively, we had the six errors, but we were attempting to make plays. You have to look for bright spots. Our pitchers threw strikes and we only struck out once.
nice throw time
Zach pitched pretty well. It was nice to see him throw that well in his first time out.
confident defensive field solid
I feel pretty confident that we'll be able to field a solid defensive team.
closer few final hopefully score second time
I thought it was a little closer than the final score indicated. We just have to make a few adjustments and hopefully the second time around it will be a little closer.
beat dakota good looks teams
They're a real good team. Right now, it looks like Owatonna and Dakota are the teams to beat in the league.
care expectation game kids losses pitch responsibility roles taking team understand wins
Our expectation is that our kids play the game the right way and take the responsibility of taking it one pitch at a time. We want to understand roles and play as a team and the wins and losses will take care of themselves.
game nice odd
It was an odd game. At times we did some nice things and we made some nice plays. Other times we didn't look so good.
lack ready shows
It's real disappointing. I think it shows a lack of preparation and a lack of concentration. We just weren't ready to play.
ben
Eli used to play defense. But we put him up there to give Ben a break.
again bats errors hurt swung walks
Offensively, we swung the bats really well. We just had too many mistakes. Walks and errors have hurt us before and they hurt us again today.
hard improved player practice tyler
We've just been working hard in practice. (Goalie) Tyler (Herber) has come a long way in the net. He's our most improved player to this point.
