Scott Benedict Quotations

He could be quite possibly the best freshman I have ever coached.

Our mantra is good pitching and good defense, so that was kind of a typical game for us. For (Peacock) to be able to command three pitches like that was very impressive.

Someone needs to step up to the plate and offer him a scholarship.

That's what he does. He's been steady all year.

We are in such a tough district, we can't even think about California.

We're not going to change anything now. We base everything we do around pitching and defense. We've just got to try to stay mentally tough.

We base everything around pitching and defense. We have been doing a good job of catching the ball and keeping the errors to an absolute minimum.

Devon battled as long as he could, but he could barely walk.

The top of the lineup has been hitting well of late, especially Alvarez, he has been hot as a fire cracker.

The second one was the longest I have seen hit to that part of the ballpark. He really got it up in the jet stream.

I wanted to give someone else an inning or two, but he was just rolling along.

It's a good and important win. The district is one of the toughest in the state. Anytime you can get a win against a district opponent, it's a good win.

I told him that if we get into a situation where we have runners in scoring position, he needed to get ready to hit. I had a sense that something positive was going to happen.

It makes you stronger, having to play four games in four days. You have to take care of your body, stay focused. We would have liked to win it, but we came out of it a stronger team.

It was a gutsy performance for John to take the mound. He really battled even though he had the cut on his hand.

That second one he hit, I think is the longest I've ever seen hit here. That was a no-doubter.

I don't see how we could beat them a fourth time.
