Gary Miner Quotations

To win our first (league) game is a tremendous boost of confidence.

That's about three games in a row now that we've been scoring with two outs.

Coaches have to do what they have to do to get their top nine players in the game. I think there's a lot of different philosophies on that.

For him to come in under those conditions and throw strikes was a tremendous job.

You win one game or two and people say it's a fluke. You win three or four in a row and then people start saying that maybe you're for real.

I guess if I had to attribute it (the turnaround), it was just the fact that the kids have done what we've asked them as a coaching staff and some of those things have turned out to their benefit, which has helped their confidence. The kids have responded very well and they've worked very hard.

At this level, if you can throw strikes consistently you're going to get people out. And we're playing such good defense right now that our pitchers don't think they have to get people out themselves, and that's why were getting such good pitching.

We have no bats and no arms that will overpower teams, so we need to play smart baseball and not make any mistakes on defense.

I'd say a lot of times we double our business during basketball tournaments.

If you can put the bat on the ball time after time and put pressure on teams, good things are going to happen. And right now we're just swinging the pipes extremely well.
