Joe Hughes Ball Quotations

We didn't change speeds much late in the game. We let him go after people. He threw strikes and we hit the ball really well.

It was 3-1 going into the sixth and we pulled them together and said we're right there with them. Just to keep battling. That's what we did. We pieced it together and in the seventh, they walked some, we put the ball in play and had some key hits.

We hit the ball real well and had some good quality at-bats. We got off to a nice start and made it easier for (pitcher) Donnie (Potter) and our defense.

It was just one of those days where we hit the ball very well. A lot of our hits were solid and quality at-bats. Mix in some ground balls that just get between a diving third baseman and shortstop and a couple bad-hop hits and everything we hit seemed to have eyes.

We're just having a tough time coming up with a key base hit. We have to figure out a way to score some runs in the important parts of the game. I think we're going to be a good ball team, we just need to get some hits.
