Our pitching and defense have been terrific. My first year, I think we rattled off about 10 (wins) in a row. But this is quite a streak. Our kids are on a good run. We're playing good baseball.
That's all exterior. That's for fans. That's for media. Our kids go about their business every day at practice just like they're working for success.
Defensively he's been fantastic at third and he's been very aggressive at the plate. He's had some key hits in some key situations for us the last two weeks.
He's always a person that people are trying to pitch around. He's his own worst enemy at times. When he can focus on doing the little things in the game, he's a terrific player. He's been very solid for us and his leadership has been tremendous.
This was his best, or most effective, performance all the way around. As far as just success on the mound ... it's his coming-out party as a pitcher. Jeremy Pope on the mound just flat-out got it done.
We have some kids that are going to be playing at the next level. They all have a great work ethic and really dedicated themselves to the weight room over the summer. They'll be rewarded this spring.
Even when you get to your sectional seed meeting, you put together your rankings and by the time June comes around, teams are playing at a different level.
It's just one of those things. If we don't draw the infield in, that ball is just a pop up for an out. But we had them in and the ball drops.
I think the biggest difference is we haven't changed anything. We haven't changed our approach or anything. Baseball is a funny game.
