We did get some hits, but we left guys on base. We're just not swinging the bats the way we need to. But everyone we're putting out there on the mound is doing a great job.
The pitching was excellent. The pitchers definitely should've had a better outcome. We had two errors that cost us two runs, plus a couple of mental errors that cost us another run or two.
Neither team wanted to lose tonight, and it kept going back and forth (with) big hit after big hit for both teams.
Pitching is keeping us in pretty much every game we play, no matter who it is.
Nate pitched extremely well; he had great control today. All our pitchers did today. I was real pleased with our pitching effort from everybody. Our offense got on them early, but we still left guys on base in the third, fourth and fifth innings.
Will had thrown a couple innings in relief, but this was his first varsity start, and he threw strikes and did well. The key is working ahead in the count.
We didn't play well at all in this game early ... but they came out and found a way to win, and that's what good teams do.
We've got a lot of baseball under our belt, and we felt like we should've won at least one of the two games we lost, if not both. But overall, we're pretty well pleased.
We did a good job scoring late, which has kind of been our (modus operandi) for most of the season. It was a good weekend for us.
There's some guys looking at him, so he needs to get his grades in order. There are people that want him. He's just got to get the test score to get in.
Sometimes they have options moving outside just two blocks of where they're now located.
This is a team-building event for us. We're sharing time together and having a lot of fun at the same time.
Almost one-half of our salaried team is here today.
It was probably the best game I've seen him pitch. I think he really grew up a lot and learned a lot today pitching-wise.
For C.J., going to a place where he can go in and play was important, and he's getting to go to school for free.
It's going to be big just to have a chance to play for a state championship.
It was probably our most complete game we've played so far. I can't say enough about our pitching so far this season.
It was good to see the guys come out and swing the bat today. And we had great pitching and great defense. It was one of our better overall games against an improved Burgin team.
I just think he lost his release point and lost his focus a little bit and let up mentally.
C.J. is a great baseball player, but he's an even better young man. I guarantee he'll be the hardest worker coach (Scott) Cornett has ever had there. I go home from the academy at 10 at night, and he and his dad are still there working.
He really kept us in the game when we were really down.
For somebody to be able to get a home is a big deal. It makes us feel good to help them get started.
All the pitchers threw well enough to keep us in the game, but Mercer County hit the ball where we weren't late in the game.
All six guys who are pitching varsity are doing a tremendous job.
