It's going to be an interesting season. We want to be as competitive as we can be on a game-to-game basis. I think this group is going to get better with each game. If we can remained composed and cut down on mistakes, we're going to be OK.
We've beaten a couple of very good teams. We're pretty happy with the way the kids have performed. We're a young team and still feeling our way through.
The timely hits came our way in this game. To come up with a pair of two-out rallies against a pitcher like Roth shows our guys were not going to quit in this one.
It was a real good week for us. Our pitching held up and we looked good in key spots at the plate. With the amount of youth on our squad this year, we fully understand it is going to take time to get everybody on the same page. So far, we're real pleased with our start.
He was outstanding. He had the lineup completely off-balance for the entire game. He mixed speeds extremely well and it his spots. We were pretty amazed at how well he handled himself against a team like Southern.
It was nice to be able to get Bert a bit of lead early in the game. We had a number of guys deliver key hits with men on base. That's the way our offense has to work this season. We need to get guys on, move them over, and deliver in clutch spots. We did a good job of that in this game.
We lost all of our starting pitching from the last two seasons. We had a number of solid arms the past two years. They carried us and were a huge part of why we performed at such a high level.
