We knew they were a great baseball team, and they did everything right to start. They had no walks, no errors and we couldn't run on them, but we've been behind before and that's why you play seven innings. We knew we could come back strong.
Shane did a great job out there today. He stayed ahead in most of his counts and really worked well. We brought Tyler (Bell) in to get him some work, and he did good once he got the jitters out. It's good to be in a situation where you can do that.
This was a great baseball game all the way around. Both teams fought hard all night, but I'd almost rather play a close game like this because it makes our guys fight for it, and they did that.
We're very excited about our new tenant opening in Columbia Mall. It fills the need for another entertainment option in Columbia and is a great accent to all the new renovations that have taken place here in the last 14 months.
I don't like to categorize teams I coach, but I really like this one. I know every time out I'm going to get a great effort from each kid, and we got that tonight in a game where we needed it.
