We don't have a lot of walks. We're throwing a lot of strikes, and working the corners real well. Our pitchers are doing a good job.
backing good job keeping pitchers playing pressure putting
We're playing good defensively in backing up our pitchers. Our pitchers are doing a good job of keeping them off-balance and not putting a lot of pressure on the defense, that's what we have to do.
bad behind defense good meant
We started off kind of bad and we didn't play good defense behind Wes. I thought when we had it at 6-6 we had it under control, and it just wasn't meant to be today.

We hadn't played all of spring break, so I was kind of worried about that. But I was proud the way we showed up today.

He hasn't pitched in a week and I wanted to get him as much work as I could before spring break. He did a great job. His curve was working better late than early. When he got it breaking, he really kept Lincoln off balance.
