We practice putting the ball on the ground and being smart and aggressive every day. I don't care if you play high school, college, or even pro ball. If you can do that, you will be successful.

What makes it frustrating is that, we're the type of program that practices every day and we practice situations every day. Mentally, a couple kids did not execute properly, home plate was left uncovered and, hey, give their runner credit, she never stopped.

We got a real good shot at making the playoffs and we got to continue to bring our 'A' game. We can't afford to take a night off.

Charlie did a good job throwing strikes tonight. If our pitchers throw strikes and we make the routine plays on defense, we'll have a chance in region play.

That's a great first outing for him, and a great start.

I really had to know my stuff to get in there. Coach saw something in me in practice one day, and I knew what I had to know and I got the job done.
