Matt Hahn Quotations

Nick is not seeing a lot of pitches right now because he is the only guy in our lineup that's hitting consistently. When he sees a good fastball, he's going to jump on it.

I give him credit. He came into the game in a tough situation and he got them out of it.

Give their pitcher credit. He came on in a very tough situation and he got our 3-4-5 hitters out. When you get in that situation, we should get one or two out of it, but I give credit to their pitcher. He got us out.

He was so immature and it showed. He made a lot of young mistakes.

He kept their guys off-balance and gave us a chance to win.

Just the way we fought back after the collision at the plate - they could have broken the game wide open. We executed there.

We need to find a way to try to get a win here.

We made good contact, but they were not falling early on. We were more comfortable as the game went on and started to put some things together.

The grand slam, up 7-1, make the kid hit the ball, and he did. I think that would have been out of most parks.

We've been struggling to score runs all year, and just the way we came out hitting early I thought eventually we'll get some (run-scoring) hits today.

You expect that out of your senior pitchers. They know when they have to bear down and get outs. He got outs when he needed to.

Brad did a nice job of getting ahead in the count. Our defense was solid. We didn't commit an error ? it was a good effort.

You spot them three unearned runs in the first inning and that kind of took the wind out of our sails. Losing Danny right away, he's the spark at the top of our lineup, really hurt too.

They took advantage of our mistakes and that's what good teams do. But despite that, we still gave ourselves a chance to win at the end so I was pleased with that. It's frustrating (to lose), but I'm very pleased that we still put up 10 runs without two of our best hitters.

Despite everything, we still gave ourselves a chance to win at the end, so I was pleased with that. We were asking guys to play positions they're not comfortable in.

That first inning could have been a lot worse. When I went out there, I just told him to settle down, take a little off his fastball and to find some strikes. They were struggling to put the ball in play.

I told Dan to make the kid hit the ball (on the grand slam), it's 7-1. He did, but I think that would've been out of most parks, not just here.

Their pitcher was struggling to get the ball over the plate so there were a lot of take signs on in that last inning. That put him in situations where he had to throw strikes.

I like the potential we have. At the beginning of the year, we were playing real well, but everybody's got to step up. I can't fault our effort because we play hard, but we're just not getting timely hits.

Chris did a wonderful job (in this game). He's a sophomore pitching on the varsity, and he has thrown two really good games now.

He's got all the physical attributes. He's got all of the desire. He's got everything going for him, except his size.

He's matured mentally, physically. It's just been a pleasure to watch him grow up. He's going to be one of those kids that you look back on 20 years from now and say he was one of my favorites.
