I'm used to it. It doesn't bother me.

My stuff today was OK, but some of my pitches got up on me. Other than that I felt pretty good. It takes a lot of stress off me when we get a big lead.

I was hoping for better. But it feels good and I'll take it.

The past couple days, I've been swinging out of my shoes. But I tried just to focus more and get the bat on the ball. My dad always says if I get a hold of it without over-swinging, it will go. Sometimes I just get so excited that I swing crazy, but that doesn't work.

I felt really focused and determined. Being a district game got me really psyched up and I had extra adrenaline going.

It seems it's always one or the other. Lately, it seems like my pitching has been on. Hopefully (the hit) will turn it around.
