We talked after losing the first game that positive people make positive things happen. We forgot about what happened in that first game and the kids battled in the second game. We told the guys to just swing the bats and be aggressive and they came through.
Our goal for him is not to strike everyone out but to be around the plate and get ground balls. We want him to make the hitters swing instead of taking pitches and keep the tempo of the game moving.
We really hit the ball early. But when bad things have happened to us, we swing at the wrong pitch on the wrong count and we get frustrated at the plate.
This group has hit the ball real well. They go opposite field well and they're not afraid to swing the bat.
