It's the third time this week he's pitched. I don't think I could coach 50 years and be prouder of a kid that him. He's missing 5 MPH off his fast ball tonight, but he basically got through three innings on sheer heart.
Going through the district for the second time, we anticipate it will be a lot tougher. I think we caught some teams by surprise. I don't think teams were gunning for us like they will be this time around.
