Brian Gruber Quotations

That says a lot about our ball club. The guys keep battling with two out and the other team may think the inning is over and let up a little bit and we kept getting the big hits.

We swung the bats well and pitched really well. The guys have been doing what we ask them to do. Our Achilles heel is definitely the defensive end. We have two or three pop up in one inning. That is a sign of a young team and we are a very young team.

We tightened things up defensively. We are playing defense well and we did the small things like getting fly balls and moving our runners over.

Ryan hit another ball right to the wall. He looked much more comfortable at the plate today.

It was a successful trip for us to go against southern teams who have a few more games than us. We picked up experience by going out and playing the game. It was fabulous. It was a nice way to end the spring trip with a win. The guys were a little tired and a little road weary. They stepped up that second game and picked up a competitive win.

We were pretty aggressive in stolen bases. We were making things happen, and when you are up in the game it is easier to be aggressive.

I was especially proud of the fact that they refused to lose. Different players stepped up for us all day long. The timely hitting that we had yesterday continued today.

Overall we did a pretty decent job today. We played well defensively. Our two errors were throwing errors on relay plays. They were nothing really major. Our pitchers did a nice job. We don't have a pitching staff that will get a lot of strikeouts. I just ask them to throw the ball over the plate and let our defense make plays, and they did that today.

We are playing good baseball right now, we are not committing turnovers like we were earlier in the year.

It's a gutsy play, but it's all about execution.
