bottom close hit productive runners stepping
We're not being productive with runners on base. That's the bottom line. When we get runners on base, no one is stepping up and making the big hit for us. That's what you've got to do in close games.
baseball edition fun high learn litter rogers senior team
For the first time, every senior will be a starter. The 2006 edition of the Rogers High baseball team is just like a litter of pups. We are young but they want to learn and they have been fun to be around.
command good multiple pitches quite teams throw
Don Lisi has become quite a good pitcher. Teams haven't scored much on him and he's got good command of his pitches. He can throw multiple pitches for strikes.
balance kept prouder
Don Lisi, this was his day today. (Lisi) kept them off balance and didn't give up big hits. I couldn't be any prouder of him.
ahead hit kept low stayed
He made us hit the ball. He kept it low and made us hit it on the ground. For the most part, he stayed ahead of us.
dan pitchers
Our pitchers are really young; we've got a young team. It's the Dan and Don (Lisi) show.
fourth next point week
There's still next week to go. That's what it amounts to at this point for the fourth place.
options
We have a lot of options in the infield.
early gave last proved runs three
We had some things going early but couldn't capitalize. Those last three runs proved really important because it really gave us some distance.
ahead except farther field outside since
We feel like we are farther ahead defensively than we ever have been. We have been outside every day except for two since January. With that comes a lot of field experience.
base clint everybody except leader people second senior solid unknown
To be a senior on our team, you need to be a leader or a starter. A lot of people don't know about Clint and he is an unknown to everybody except the people on our team. Second base is solid with Clint.
runners tweak
We may tweak things a little bit. When we get runners on base, we have to get them around to score. We will do what ever it takes.
daniel daring field home people third
We are just daring people to try and go to third and home on Daniel. We need to have Daniel on the field at all times.
base hits needed people
We were a little sluggish. We had different ones (hitters) come through for us. We had some hits with people on base and that is what you want to do. Big hits when we needed them.
