Fred Hill Quotations

It may not look like it, but he has an unbelievable inner toughness. It's not physical toughness when you get poked in the eye as much as it is mental toughness. He came out and played like it never happened. He was fearless.

He has all the tools you look for in a player. He can run, hit, can throw pretty good, but offensively he's still making an adjustment. He's seeing things he's never seen before and I think the speed of the college game is what's holding him back. But he's a hard worker so those are things he'll pick up quickly.

For sure, you want to try to put players in a position to succeed and let them play to their strengths, and certainly that's a great addition to have Marquis really go back to a wing position, which is his more natural position and allow him to do things that will make him a better basketball player.

I am excited to bring Darren home. Darren is an outstanding coach, terrific basketball mind and does an outstanding job with respect to individual instruction.

Stevie gave us something that we needed. It was good to see him pitch well.

We needed strong leadership, and we needed to move quickly. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to do something,

We had to get a key hit there. If you asked me the two guys I wanted up, it'd be those two guys - it's a tough game, and you can't get hits every time you want.

Every time it rains we get a real mess. It's very disheartening.

They were there for Renee 24/7. I could not believe everyone who came by to help. People like Amy Kessler and many others. I was talking Earl Thom about it, and do you know what he said? He said of course they wanted to be there, they loved Renee and they are Hazel Parkers.

There was some good and some bad. We started off very good and hit the ball good but as the game went on I think we made some mistakes from a pitching standpoint and we were giving too much of the plate.
