After we scored those runs we moved through the game with less focus. After the fourth inning we played with less effectiveness, but I still think the players felt they were in control of the game.
After a while, you get used to it. It's the same stuff that's gone on all weekend. What are we going to do about it? Those kids are two of the best outfielders in the country, but they haven't played together for very long.
Timing and rhythm are things we have to work on. These kids aren't machines. They have feelings; they have emotions. This isn't a game played by robots.
We responded really well to the three runs. As the game went on we played with less energy and effectiveness.
