He did a good job tonight. He gave up his first earned run this season tonight, so his been consistent. He filled up the strike zone and allowed his defense to play behind him.
Our win against Ocean Springs was huge for us because it gave us home-field advantage, and we put a lot of effort and energy into that game. It's important for us to be playing at home because we get a chance to watch two teams play before we do.
Our intensity and focus were the main difference tonight. They have the characteristics of being a good team by bouncing back from a loss all year long.
They got hot to start the season, but had a dry spell during the middle of the season. They are now starting to play good baseball, again.
I like the format this year because we won our Division. But I would be upset if I were a second-place team. Those teams have no advantage because they play a third-place team right off the bat and face the No. 1 team on the same day.
Both are rich in baseball tradition. Both are going to be well-schooled so to speak. Both know how to play the game.
