Charlie Puleo Good Quotations

He wasn't as sharp as his first game, but he still had a good fastball. He struggled with the breaking ball and the change-up. But when he needed it, he had his fastball and he located it.

We should have done a better job against their first two pitchers. Kirby-Jones had real good stuff, if he gets you out that's fine. I thought we weren't very competitive against the first two guys.

We did a good job of advancing runners and keeping the ball in play. It was tough. Their pitcher (Holt) has an odd pitch. He has that palm ball. These kids don't see much of that.

Aaron's only a sophomore and he's going to be a heck of a player. He had a good at-bat. He just popped it up. It's one of those things, (Monday) he hit one off the left field wall with two runners on.

It's good to get Andrew back on track swinging the bat. He had a grand slam this morning and then a three-run homer tonight which was the difference maker. If we can get him to swing consistently like that, and with (Morgan) Costner and (Bryan) Crosby, we can cause some people some trouble.

I'm trying to get Hartsell straightened out. He really struggled tonight, but even though he struggled -- the numbers aren't that good -- I saw some signs that some of his stuff was coming back.

If you would have told me that we would have been 11-3 in district at the start of the season with the group that we came in with, I'd tell you I'd be shocked. But they really have grown and they're all getting a lot more confidence. And they've developed themselves into a pretty good ball club.
