bearing coming couple mainly plan threw
He's been mainly our closer, and with the way he throws, he's just better off going a couple of innings, so that was the plan coming in. It had no bearing on his performance. In fact, I thought he threw pretty well.
conference good kick last outside overall season though work
Overall it was good to get outside the last two days, even though it was cold. To get out here and work out a lot of the kinks before we kick off the conference season on Tuesday, I think it will make a big difference.

He was impressive. He's really fitting into that role well.

I've been really impressed with our pitching. We're throwing strikes and we're getting people out.

I've been really impressed with Kevin Sullivan maturing as a player.
exciting good nice start
It got a little exciting there. It's nice to get off to a good start like this, especially in the conference.
baseman bat coming defensive guy needed second swinging
He's been coming on. He's been our defensive second baseman and we just needed to go with a guy consistently there. When he's getting the opportunity, he's been swinging the bat better lately..
areas hard kids places stay work
The kids know we're undefeated. But they are still working hard because they want to stay that way and they know they still have some areas to work on. We have some places we need to get better in, and we're working hard to get there.

Another clutch hit. That was a nice piece of hitting.
conference huge seed setting week win winners-and-winning
This was a huge, huge week for us setting up for conference as well as the seed meeting. To come up with a win here was very key.
base bats leaving runners
We've been leaving runners on base a lot. I thought our at bats were a lot better overall.
base broke guys ourselves runs score
We had guys on base and the opportunities to score some runs and peck away at the lead, but we just never really broke through to get ourselves back in the game.
bottom game granite happens lead line needed playing plays strange talked win
We talked about it at the very beginning, to keep playing the game because usually something strange happens when we play Granite City. They get the big lead, then we get a big lead and they come back . . . The bottom line is that we didn't make the plays we needed to win the game.
