These are the kind of games you have to win. Low-scoring games like this you have to have good pitching and play defense. We took a step forward tonight.
It was our third game in three days, (and) we lacked energy. It just so happens Manatee had more than us.
It was not a pretty game and North Port did a good job of taking the hand that was dealt to them and getting the job done.
Chad (Burns) did a great job on the mound. He knew out game plan and did a great job of executing it. He stayed down in the zone all afternoon.
All three pitchers we threw (Monday) did a good job. Pat kept us in the game and Tommy got us out of a jam and Robby did a nice job of finishing up. Our young guys needed to step up and they did a nice job of getting us through the game.
We did a nice job of putting our game plan in motion the first couple of innings then we adjusted in the fourth inning as they changed up.
