We hit the ball hard the first two innings right at Wayne. If you keep hitting the ball hard, good things will happen.

Andy Owens

I expected a tough game. They're much-improved. For nine batters, we didn't hit the ball. That's three innings you lost.

(Lay) pitched well today. We saw him for over seven innings and we finally began to make the adjustments that we didn't make early. That's what got us into a bind.

Albert Flores

It usually takes us a few innings to adjust to the pitcher's speed.

Mandy Goodwin

He's had a tender back, but he said he was good to go. I kind of wanted to just use him a couple of innings.

McClellan (4-0) threw a great game. He settled down and got us out of a couple of tense innings.

Greg Shepard

They've just been so focused. Between the two of them, they went 28 straight innings without allowing a run this week.

She's had some excellent outings, and she's had some not-so-good outings. Unfortunately, we have to put her in there, and she's getting more innings than I would have originally planned.

Leslie King

We swung the bat well, and put the ball in play. And we also did a good job of stringing those hits together; we had a lot of back-to-back hits in our big innings.

David Lawhon

We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.

Mike Hargrove

We had runners on base in the following innings, but we just couldn't get them in.

Russell Brann

I expect Harker to pitch that many innings if not more.

He controlled the top of the third. From the fourth through seventh innings, he was really on top of his game.

Walt Patynski

That's the thing - we have to be able to stop the bleeding, and we haven't been able to do that in a couple of innings. If we eliminate those innings from both games, we are right there.

Adam pitched a great nine innings. I think it is the best Adam has pitched all year.

I'm hoping Joel will step up and give us a lot of innings.

Dave Barrow

We've got guys who are capable of pitching 200 innings, which is something they've done in the past. I don't think we're asking anything that they can't do or haven't done. We've been healthy this spring, and that's good.

Rick Honeycutt

We seem to have those types of innings every game. We went brain-dead there in the second inning.

Jerry Hairston

The girl had a golden glove in the first couple of innings and got a lot of us.

I thought we went toe-to-toe with them for six innings. Now we've got the first one out of the way against a very good team. Now we get back after it tomorrow.

Chris Mercer

We're not getting the big hits and we're not executing on defense. We could have been out of both those innings today. It's a matter of making a few plays here or there.

Nick Whaley

Our record should have been flip-flopped. There was an inning in four or five games where we lost games. If we could have had five innings back, we would have made the playoffs. The playoffs are our goal.

Bret Meuli

He had been in three innings. But he?s a great pitcher. I was battling. I was hoping it was above the yellow line.

Just put the ball in play, hit it hard and you make things happen. If you're leading off innings, that's what you have to do.

He pitched 3 1/2 innings in a game early in the year. He had a bruise on his elbow. We shut him down two weeks. He came back and has been fine ever since.

Gary Miner

I thought every pitch I was going to come out of the game, ... I had another 7, 8 mph in the tank I couldn't go to, and that was disappointing. Somehow I found a way to get through five innings.

Jason Schmidt

He's ahead of everybody else in camp and he has thrown more bullpens than anybody else. By the time he has to leave us, he'll be able to go three innings. That way he should be able to go four innings down there.

Rafael Chaves

We brought in Donovan to catch for six innings, and he hasn't caught since he was eleven years old. But he did a great job out there.

He'll probably get more meaningful innings now.

Allard Baird

We hit the ball well all game, but we couldn't get the bats going the last couple innings.

I knew coming in it was either going to be one of those days where I struggled, and I was going to have to sit out there and eat up innings or I was going to pitch good.

Shawn Chacon

We'll see what happens Tuesday. If (Marquis) can get a couple innings on Tuesday, that would line him up for Saturday and then we'll see what goes from there.

That home run was absolutely huge for us. We haven't been a come-from-behind team in the late innings this year.

Paul Kostacopoulos

I've always had trouble settling down the first couple of innings.

Ross Detwiler

Outstanding. He's a great competitor, and the thing is, he got better as the game went on. I think he could have went nine (innings).

Calvin Baisley

I was very surprised by how Victoria approached their batting in the first innings, they were pretty reckless.

Dan Marsh

Obviously, we didn't come out and start well. We did a bad job of making adjustments. We've got to be focused for seven innings to win games.

Atsuya Furuta

We didn't swing the bat at all the first four innings.

Ron Whitehurst

It took me a couple of innings to get adjusted and I started to get in a groove about the fourth inning. My fastball and curve were really working well.

We're going to give our pitchers some extended innings. That is going to be a need when district rolls around.

Mike Shimek

We played six good innings, and then they really came after us. It just fell apart in the last inning.

It was too bad he couldn't go longer than five innings. But he did a good job, but the manager wanted to use more pitchers.

Richy Brooks

Austin walked seven in two innings last week at Geneva, so he really bounced back.

We did not commit a single error in the game. When you can go five innings in high school baseball without committing an error, you improve your chances of winning.

Andy Keith

We're a young and inexperienced team, which can make things difficult, but I saw some real improvements defensively today. We had a few good innings where our defense really came through for us.

Angelina Chilaka

We should've won this game 3-0. It's early in the season. We played (East) hard for six innings, but it's a seven-inning game.

Ken Frank

Our offense started to click and we were able to put together some big innings.

Don Neise

I think we have to win that series. And that?s it. We need to win (tonight). We have to win innings. You can break it down to that.

I'm excited how Mike pitched above 80 pitches. We're excited to see him give us five or six innings on Saturday.

For both games, we had a total of 10 walks. But four of those came in the first two innings of the first game. And we only had three errors. Those were the two big keys.

Scott Palin

After putting good swings on the ball for six innings something good is bound to happen.

Tim Rafferty

He's going to get a lot more innings.

The last inning he was throwing better than (the earlier innings). He did a good job of finishing.

Shawn Weaver

I felt good, especially the first couple of innings, ... After that I kind of lost the feel of my curveball but I was able to keep them at bay just enough.

Ted Lilly

I was a little bit tired. I pitched a lot of innings coming off sickness, but they're good hitters. I tested them and they beat me.

Olivia Mauro

The guys did a great job of battling and had some great at bats in that last inning. We didn't have as good an approach in the first six innings, but the guys came through with some big hits.

David Beasley

It would have been nice to get those guys in [in the first], but it just didn't happen. We had eight more innings to get runs in.

Jack Hannahan

It's all about clutch hitting. We haven't been giving up and that's a big difference from last year. We're going to fight all the way to the end, whether it's seven innings or 14.

Lindsey Cameron

There were too many hitters that went deep into counts because of some fundamental things. Also I would like to see Dan be more aggressive in the first and second innings.

Chris Vermeer

We hit the ball hard, and we hit it a lot. And we threw two kids for seven innings each.

Rich Sadvar

They know they have to perform to get innings. They complement each other well. That's certainly not by accident.

(Courtney) was real strong the first three innings, but she was a little off than what she normally is.

Lisa Dey

I probably could have pitched the last two innings, ... But I will never argue a manager's decision.

That's what should've happened in the first couple innings too. We've made plays like that with out committing errors.

That first pitcher they threw at us did a good job through four innings, but when they brought those other guys in we were able to break the game open.

Sid Wheatley

It's the third time I've got him in four innings.

Dale Steyn

We were down 5-2 in the first couple of innings after the defense committed a few errors. But all the players calmed down and played a great game from the fourth inning on.

Andy Keith

They threw a lot of strikes. They needed those innings.

Ralph Carlson

L.A. did a good job on the mound on the night. The first four innings she did a great job.

Sherry Sealey

Our closer coming out and giving us eight good innings ... Todd Lorenz did a great job.

Tracy Archuleta

He made good adjustments after the first two innings. When he gives us more than six innings, we have a great shot at winning.

Javier Valentin

The first couple innings, we just couldn't get those timely hits. The pitching was there though.

Terry Cornett

Errors killed us today. In our first two games we didn't have that. It was a lack of focus. We had eight errors in four defensive innings.

Courtney Harrness

We had two bad innings in those games. The first innings really got to us.

Mike Voss

I thought we played well and to beat them by an innings was great.

Saurav Ganguly

We still don't have a lot of experience on the mound. We're trying to get kids innings and try to convince them to go after them.

Vance Arnold

From the way he warmed up and what happened the first three innings, we thought it was going to be a fun day for us. It just got out of hand in the fourth.

John Flaherty

Anything I do right now with twisting, I'll probably feel it. If I had already gone five good innings, I probably would have come out then, but I wanted to get one more inning in. I didn't think it was that bad.

Cory Lidle

I came back and I played a good innings. I'm very happy today. I always enjoy playing in Australia. There is good bounce and the ball carries through.

Sanath Jayasuriya

We're going to have a strong battery. Our pitching gives us the luxury of a lot of good innings defensively.

Bill Alexander

They got some hits right down the line that kept some of those innings going. We could have gotten out of those innings. And then it's a different game. But give Douglas credit. They hit the ball real hard.

Rob Hastings

Our starting (infield) are all freshman and they did an outstanding job today. After the first two innings we made some changes and after two more innings we made some more.

Greg Tharrington

We're hoping to go five innings, and 15-pitch innings to get him up to 75 pitches.

Brad Arnsberg

The innings were too short, but there were a lot of runs.

Alan Jones

We did a better job as the game went on, being more patient. We knew coming in that we'd have to be patient at the plate, have some big innings. In the first couple innings, we didn't do that.

Dennis Healy

Hitting-wise, we did not adjust well in [innings] 1 to 5. We finally adjusted. Our guys find a way, and I'm pretty happy about that.

Andy Jakubowski

It helps out a ton, you can pick up those extra innings. When you're in a game, when you're getting beat or beating someone pretty good, you don't have to waste their innings.

Kyle Magnusson

The girls performed well. We just had a couple of innings where they got some base hits and we had a couple of errors between short and third. They just got some hits on us.

Pam Dean

One thing we're seeing is we're building some depth. We've had 14-15 guys play a bunch of innings and I like what I see.

Denny Leathers

Tim pitched well for five innings and only gave up one run and one hit.

Phil Amelio

We had the 13 hits in five innings because we didn't have a hit until the 5th inning.

Ron Polk

If you pitch six or seven innings and give up two runs, you should win those games.

Brett Tomko

You've got to make the routine plays, especially late in extra innings. It's frustrating.

Matt Stallbaumer

I just want to see some things. You can tell a lot about a guy in two innings.

Robert Eenhoorn

Our goal was to get the win. This was an important win for us. I didn't expect to go three innings but was glad to help the team.

Chan Ho Park

He's a great kid. You figure after you saw him once you would be OK, but we saw him for an additional five innings and still had a hard time figuring him out.

Bryant Kitty

When you give up 13 walks, six hits and four errors in three innings, that's enough.

Bob Erickson

It's just getting innings in, and getting ready for 40 games in a month and a half.

Greg King

We just need to put together those big innings that we used to. Our hitters are just not getting the job done.

Jon Jay

It just got away from us in two innings. They scored a bunch of runs and scored some runs when they needed them.

Jason Larue

Probably the hardest five innings I've ever pitched. That was probably more the team that I'm used to facing.

Mark Hendrickson

It would be hard to come back and start and expect five innings and 80 pitches.

Curt Young

The game went into extra innings and was one of the best (high school) games I've seen.

Charlene Hunt

That's going to help us late in games. The seventh, eighth, and ninth innings is when you win.

Justin Pigott

Through the first six or seven innings it was like, here we go again. But in the eighth and ninth, we found a way to get it done.

Ron Gideon

We really hadn't done much for five innings, then we finally got some things going after falling behind.

Keith Louder

Stephanie Burnett hit a great ball. We hit the balls the rest of the innings, it's just we hit it right to them.

Grant Hall

We had some things not go our way. We had some bad bounces in the earlier part of the game, and that put guys on base. We had two innings where we left the bases loaded, and another where we left them at first and third, and we couldn't bring them in.

Steve Kinney

Our handicaps depend on how many innings, how many defeats and who the opponent is. It takes a lot more into account, so it's a lot more competitive.

John Amelsberg

[Jones] did a really good job of making his pitch when he had to. He did that for five innings, and that's why they only scored one run.

Dennis Deper

I was happy with how we played in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. But it was too little, too late.

Brian Shipley

This gave us a chance to see how he rebounded from that situation, and he was great. He gave up one run the following five innings. He responded extremely well.

Brian Price

For the parents of a Little Leaguer, a baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown into innings.

Earl Wilson

We put up 24 runs in three innings before rain ended it. It was 24-3, and they handed us the trophy. ?You earned it,? they said.

Chris Fisher

Butch came in the last two innings and we saw the old Butch.

Eric Gutierrez

He throws 60 pitches in the first couple innings and did nothing but get much stronger.

Eric Wedge

We played hard for seven innings and lost to a good club today.

Ed Mcpadden

Just one hit in nine innings, that's not bad at all.

Ed Mcpadden

The key to both games were good first innings. Scoring early takes the pressure off and allows them to relax a little bit.

Ed Crum
