Ron Rushing Ball Quotations

David New just had shoulder surgery. He hit a ground ball and they made an error. New went to second base head first. That set the tone for the rest of the game.

He was rusty. We hadn't worked him during the week like we should, but he shook it off and threw a good ball game. That's my fault. We've got to throw him during the middle of the week. We've been trying to keep a lot of pressure off his arm because he's thrown so much.

They got the ball up in the air. It was a strange day for balls flying out of the park.

C.J. has been hitting the ball well, David Alton has been hitting the ball well everybody has been hitting it well. It's hard to make a lineup when they're hitting that well. (Foster in the No. 2 hole) just puts him up there faster. I think it puts a lot of pressure on the pitcher to get that first out. As long as everybody is hitting, we can do that.

We worked on his mechanics a little bit and changed it up. But he's got a good eye for the ball, keeps his hands back and puts the ball in play. He's been swinging it well, and he stepped up and delivered. That's what a senior does.
