bases bats chances ended few five game hands home obvious ourselves played ran saved second smarter third took trying
We ran ourselves out and took the bats out of some hands in a few innings. We made outs at bases we shouldn't have, trying to be too daring. If we would have played a little smarter we could have ended the game in five and saved some pitching. We wanted to take some chances going to second not third and home and we made some obvious misreads.
bats boys couple easy game hit kids knock needed swinging unselfish walks
We accomplished what we needed to. We're really swinging the bats right now and a lot of kids had unselfish at-bats when the game was still tight. We had some walks and a couple of kids got hit and then the big boys knock them in. We just don't have an easy out in the lineup.
bright leadership lost plate spots
There just wasn't much leadership at the plate tonight. We had bright spots but then we just lost focus.
bad ball count frustrated happened hit pitch swing wrong
We really hit the ball early. But when bad things have happened to us, we swing at the wrong pitch on the wrong count and we get frustrated at the plate.
anybody bats carry conference everybody good guys healthy pitching shape state swinging
We've got everybody healthy and we used a lot of guys today. We've got 11 or 12 guys swinging the bats well right now but our pitching is going to have to carry us from here on out. But we feel like we're in good shape for conference and I feel like we're as good as anybody in the state right now.
