I was down in the count and I was looking for an outside pitch with two strikes and I got an outside fastball and went with it.

We've been getting better and better as the season goes along and we're ready to go into the conference games and compete.

We had a chance to win that game. Good pitching gets good hitting out.

Pretty good pitching against us.

They've both been a pleasant surprise. As the pitching goes, so does the team. But we're also getting some solid defense behind them. They're both working hard on learning how to pitch. I'm pleased with their progress and I hope it continues.

We're leaving sandbags at the ready. Even though all of them got washed away last time, we're hoping they'll hold. Inside we made sure everything is up off the ground.
