last leaders outside practices
Our practices have been pretty good. We've been able to get outside and get a lot of things accomplished. We have some experience, and we have some leaders back from last year.
goal playoffs
Our goal is to make the playoffs and do well.
ball chance defense gave great played ready start themselves three
We have to be ready to play from start to finish. I give Canon-McMillan credit. They put the ball in play, played great defense and got great pitching. They gave themselves a chance to win. We didn't do that in the first three innings.
commit dreaded
We had that one dreaded inning that kills a lot of teams. We have to concentrate more on defense. We had costly errors, and if we don't commit those errors, we win, 12-0.
clinic involved kids players
I've been involved in a lot of clinics, and this is important. I'm excited, and the players are excited. And the kids in the clinic will be excited.
both errors expect five joey josh threw
Joey and Josh both threw strikes, but you can't have five errors and expect to win.
dominant good section
The section is tough. There isn't one dominant team, but that's the good thing about it. It's a competitive section.
overcame pitch time took
It wasn't pretty, but we did what we had to do to win. We took it one pitch at a time and overcame adversity.
came overcame pitch took win
It wasn't pretty, but we did what it took to win it. After we got into the game, it came down to one at-bat, one pitch at a time. We overcame a lot of adversity.
game improvement loose room stay
I think there is always room for improvement from game to game, but we just have to stay focused. And we want to have fun, stay loose and play with confidence.
fifth happy played sixth
I was happy with how we played in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. But it was too little, too late.
chance coaches community gives high kids learn meet players school
It gives the kids in the community a chance to get out and meet the high school players and coaches and learn some fundamentals. Plus, it gives them a chance to be on the high school field.
guys move strength
I think versatility is a strength. We have a lot of guys that we can move around.
ball charge game guys pitchers ready step
We need some pitchers to step up and take charge and want the ball when the game is on the line. I think we have some guys that are ready to do that.
