Oliver Springs starts eight seniors, and this is their year to do it. They are the one up there at the top and they are the favorites to win this after dropping down from double A.
He (Ryan Hawn) throws well and we were lucky to hit the ball early and score a couple of runs. We put them on their heels to where they had to try and score to get even and I thought that was a big key.
We have some kids that really want to play and we have kids that are learning the game.
We came out a little flat and sometimes that happens in baseball. It is a sign of a good team that we finally came alive and started swinging the bats when we had to.
We come back today (Friday) and we get us a good win.
We were flat at McMinn Central and they jumped on us and we never could recover from it.
It was freak thing. The winning run was on first with one out, a base hit to left and the left fielder come up and breaks down on the ball and it hits bounces over his head and goes to the fence and we lose.
I'm proud of my kids for getting a couple of runs in the first inning to get us going.
