Boone Logan
Kyle did a great job on the mound and we played the best defense we've played all year. We thought this would come down to defense. We knew we were going up against two of the best pitchers in the conference.
Darren Hotelling

Joe Garagiola
Spencer threw well today; he tired a bit at the end. He got the job done. He's showing a lot of confidence on the mound.
Frank Fedeli
One of our major goals is to replace Tiffany. Both pitchers look good, my only concern is their lack of varsity experience on the mound.
Tim Pederson
The guy with probably the most skills and a quiet demeanor is Bobby Hopkins. He's matured a lot, he's physically gotten bigger and he just handles himself well on the mound.

Chris Finnegan
By mounding the beds, you get more soil surface and you can layer the plants.

Holly Brown
We have a lot of confidence anytime Steven is on the mound for us. He did a great job for us today.
Mike Padgett
(There were) two great pitchers on the mound, so you have to expect a 12-inning game. We're young, but we'll bounce back.
Matt Hoiles
It all starts on the mound. We couldn't catch walks, and that gave them an advantage. They're the No. 3 team in the country. You can't let anyone get on base for free, especially not Mississippi State.
Jeff Schexnaider
I feel good about our chances (Saturday). We've got a good pitcher on the mound, and hopefully we can swing the bats a little better.
Rick Heller
For him, he likes to have it when he's on the mound. He's the type of guy that feels more confident when he has his velocity. You can see him looking up there to see where it is.
A.j. Pierzynski
It was fun. I'll have to get used to it. I'm probably more nervous doing that than pitching on the mound.
Taylor Buchholz
She has a heck of a bruise to the left ankle. That is why the mound should be moved back three feet to 43 (feet). Most people don't know it, but it is faster than pro baseball. There is no reaction.
Scott Docherty
It is great to see Laura Moore back on the mound. If she can continue what she did in Texas- no walks, spread hits out and get ahead in the count- she should do very well in our conference games.
Leigh Podlesny
I had no idea he was this good as a complete player, at the plate and on the mound. We're very lucky to have him.

Andy Keith
Austin Turk did an outstanding job on the mound. He kept the Andrew hitters off balance.
Paul Raspolich
When he's out there on the mound, he's gonna give you everything he's got. Even if things aren't going well, he's gonna want to stay out there and battle through it. That's the kid of kid he is. He's got a lot of heart.
Kenny Gray
It is great to have him on the mound. The guy was dealing. You know the guy is going to get it done.
Brad Boyer
It was nice to get the first one out of the way. I've thrown off that mound and I felt pretty comfortable.
Jon Lester
It's tough to win on the road. We made some little mistakes early and Corey had some problems adjusting to the mound. But they are a tough team and we knew what we were up against coming in here.
Larry Chronister
So it didn't really surprise me a lot, ... that he's thrown that hard off the mound.
Clint Barmes
He has basically unhittable stuff. But he helps himself with the way he plays defense. He gets off the mound quickly and covers a lot of ground.
Greg Dobbs
The field was like a sandbox and Kristine couldn't get her footing on the mound. She eventually got into a rhythm and shut E.B. down for the rest of the game.
Pete Catenacci
That was huge, a sophomore on the mound. You go on the road for the first conference game, and he comes up big for us.
Tony Pullen
We struggled a little bit on the mound. We'll be OK, we're still kind of experimenting with pitching.

Stacey Sullivan
Natalie Murray has been very strong on the mound.
Jaime Stewart
I owe everything I have to them when I'm out there on the mound. But I owe the fans nothing and they owe me nothing when I am not pitching.
Christy Mathewson
He goes out there, throws strikes and really battles hard on the mound. We know anytime that D.J. is on the mound we have a good chance to win.
Jimmy Lawler
Brett had a strong day for us on the mound and at the plate. He really gave us a boost when we needed it.
Mike Allison
He's really poised on the mound. Both of the sophomore pitchers are stepping up and giving us some good innings.
Dave Marzano
We have two of our top three varsity pitchers back, so we'll have a lot of experience on the mound.
Jason Swearingen
He's got a lot of poise, a guy that doesn't really act his age on the mound, so to speak. You can't tell it's his first full year.
Jason Kendall
Kim did a very nice job on the mound today. This is a very big win for us.
Donna Proctor
It will be longer than that, though. I haven't thrown off a mound for more than a week, so it will take a little bit to build back up.
Rick Helling
It's his arm action. Then, he gathers himself well on the mound and lets it go. (Olson) even commented that his arm action is better than it was a month ago.
Dave Moates
We really battled today on the mound and at the plate. We were able to capitalize on some opportunities, especially in the big inning, and that carried us to the win.
Craig Gibson
The biggest thing was I got adjusted to the mound. There's not much of a hill over here.
Keegan Linza
The real test will be when we get him on the mound -- and then after his mound exposure, we'll let him field some ground balls, ... We'll let him field bunts down both lines and we'll let him cover first base. ... He's got to be able to get around at least well enough to be able to do those things that are required out of every Major League pitcher.
Brad Arnsberg
In my opinion, that showed maturity, ... You can live with both: You can enjoy it, and also get on the mound and do your job.
James Street
No matter how well you hit, you're going to face good pitching in the playoffs. So you've got to have guys on the mound that can shut everybody else down too. And not just one.
Ashley Burnett
He knew how to pitch. He moved the ball around and was tough and tenacious on the mound.
Johnny Bench
Hopefully it doesn't make me too strong, ... I've just been really anxious to get on the mound.
Jon Garland
Three of those are in the Elk Mound School District. We don't know where all these people are coming from ? but they're showing up.
Bob Colson
We're throwing strikes off the mound and playing good defense. And we've been having some guys come up and get some big hits when we've needed to.
David Mcginnis
Mitch was outstanding on the mound. When he left the game we were only one run down. He pitched especially well for not having thrown in two weeks (because of an ankle injury).
Paul Kostacopoulos
When only two runners make it past first base, you know that your guys on the mound dominated.
Steve Ramharter
This is a good group of kids that work real hard. But they also know they've got Casey on the mound, and they know Casey is going to keep us in every game.
Bill Frank
This is the first time we've beaten them since I was (in the ninth grade). I'm glad we got the win and that I was on the mound.
Taylor Thompson
He did a hell of a job on the mound.
Mike Frosco
We have to throw them on a regular basis. If they are not in the game, it has to be in the bullpen. We have to stay sharp that way. I don't like to let guys go more than two days without doing at least something off the mound. We have to keep them sharp that way.
Rick Kranitz
We are fortunate to have so much talent on the mound. It is a luxury. We won't burn kids out or overuse them.
Bryan Kramer
It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling.
Russ Adams
She has a different personality on the mound. She's coming out of her shell.
Tom Eagleson
We hit it well, but we ought to hit with a pitcher throwing with that kind of speed on the mound.
Alan Knight
I thought we played well enough to win, and Rafael had a great game on the mound for us, so I was encouraged by those two aspects of the game.
Richard Labounty
Tonight a couple of groundballs got through and it killed me. Sometimes you don't feel good, it has nothing to do with sickness, you are out there on the mound and you just don't feel good.
Brad Penny
We've just got to be more consistent on the mound. There isn't any doubt we'll be able to swing it. We can only hope we get stronger as the year goes on and learn from some of these games we've let get by us.
Robert Abalos
The main thing is just, the slider I was throwing, everyone was hanging right down the middle. It's frustrating on the mound.
Scott Kazmir
It was the consistency that you appreciated. It was the idea that you had a guy on the mound who would allow you to go out and feel safe in the seventh inning and he was going to give you a chance to win the game.
Dave Wallace
It was a gutsy performance for John to take the mound. He really battled even though he had the cut on his hand.
Scott Benedict
Psychologically, to go out for the top of the third inning with a seven-run lead and having Mike Peck on the mound, that was huge.
Jason Castro
I was trying to find myself on the mound.
Victor Zambrano
He's pitching high school ball, but he really has that college and professional mentality. He is such a competitor on that mound.
Ron Fussell
We feel like we can win every time he is on the mound. With Taylor on the mound, we feel like we can win against anybody.
Bruce Alter
We speak French all the time, out on the field sometimes, but not when anyone else is around. We decided that we could speak French during games. I wouldn't even have to go to the mound, I'll just yell to him in French, no one will know what we said.
Russ Martin
He looked sharp tonight. We just wanted to see a couple other guys on the mound and lost it late.
Kyle Poock
People will be able to actually walk where the villagers walked and explore the mound.
Doris Anderson
Elrod came out to the mound and said, 'Boy, did we get ourselves in a mess.' He acted like it was his fault, too.
Jim Palmer
I like the fact that he's a competitor. Mad Dog (pitching coach Mike Maddux ) said that when he warms up, he's kind of (relaxed) but when he gets on the mound, he's a different animal.
Damian Miller
We'll get a lot of people some mound time. We've just got to find some arms.
Jody O'neal
We came out hitting. We had a good day defensively and on the mound. It was time to turn things around. It didn't matter who we played it was going to be a good day. We executed everything that we wanted to.
Laura Watten
We found two large high-temperature fields and as we explored them, we would come upon a large mound of chimneys with superheated water jetting out of them. Then in the distance, we'd see another mound and then beyond that, another one, and so on.
Adam Schultz
He's always been an emotional guy, he wears his emotions on his sleeve. But on the mound, he's got to work to correct that.
Phil Olson
I was very surprised by the score. I felt like with the way the wind was blowing out there is no way Flower Mound and Marcus is going to play a 1-0 game through six innings.
Steve Stinson
I threw everything I had at them. We just have had no consistency (on the mound).
Josh Herring
Cassie did a good job from the mound, but it was our defense that kept it close the entire game.
Judy Smith
They will be our horses for us on the mound. They are the only returning players that have any experience at the varsity level.
Augustine Ruiz
We just wanted to come out here and play hard, ... We knew that we had Alan Horne on the mound and he's going put up a lot of zeroes.
Brian Leclerc
The guy you want out on the mound, or the guy you want up at the plate when the game is on the line is a Gaynor. Either Colin or Casey.
Bill Frank
Erica is modest. It eases me when she is out on the mound.
Ann Dipierro
I don't know what happens on the mound. Nothing works right now.
Jorge Julio
When you have a great closer on the mound in the ninth inning, the game is 99.9% over. So anything you can get against a guy like that is a huge plus.
John Mabry
I got the ball and calmly got off the mound and just wiped my hand slowly across my face. It's so rare (to see a ball called), because one knows you can't put your hand in your mouth. How can he think I'd do that?
Wandy Rodriguez
Joe came out and threw five innings in the first one. He struck out 10, walked two and gave up just the one hit. Like his dad said after the game, he looked like a pitcher out there on the mound, not just a kid up there throwing the ball.
Trevor Thomas
He always gives me his best. There is no in-between. When I give him the ball on the mound I know he's going to give me 100 percent ... he gives you everything he has. He loves it.
Ryan Gardner
I'm trying to speed it up and get back on the mound. The guys behind me have also played great defense during this streak.
C.c. Sabathia
We know how good they are on the mound, and they've been swinging the bats of late.
Tom Slater
Any time I take the mound against him, Alex is a dangerous hitter. This was not the first time he got me and it won't be the last. I'm confident I will locate against him better the next time. He is a great hitter; I have a lot of respect for him.
Bartolo Colon
L.A. did a good job on the mound on the night. The first four innings she did a great job.
Sherry Sealey
I get a little tense on the mound. I don't know why. It's just something about pitching. But hitting like this helps me relax.
Jacob Martin
If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd have said we couldn't be doing this. But even this fall, you could tell something had changed. (Meyers) is big on confidence, especially on the mound. Knowing you're better than the hitter, having good body language. If you get upset, don't show it.
Hunter Hall
We made a lot of mistakes throughout the game, but we just didn't quit and we had our horse on the mound. I was hoping not to extend him as much as I did, but he threw well.
Gardy O'flynn
He's got good stuff. You can see his confidence is rising. It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling and we couldn't do much against him.
Russ Adams
He came out healthy. We'll see how he is tomorrow. That will determine what we do next. He threw the baseball adequately for somebody who has been out a month. The good thing is he didn't have to walk off the mound with a strain.
Curt Young
He really helped me a lot out there tonight. Since he's a pitcher himself, he knows what to tell me what to do when I'm on the mound.
Javier Torres
When he's down in the zone he's really tough to hit. He went through a tough time but he was tough enough to keep himself on the mound and really battle.
Victor Martinez
He throws the ball 90 miles an hour. We just need him to throw strikes. If he can throw strikes, he'll be devastating out there on the mound.
Rich Papirio
One good thing about it is we're going back with experience on the mound and in the bullpen with Brandt Sanders. And our other guys will get to open at home.
Tony Robichaux
Myers was very poised on the mound and had excellent control of all of his pitches.
Dan Kaiser
We've always said that's probably the widest mound in the league ? and maybe all of baseball. I really think the mound is too wide. That ball by Heintz was hit hard and then it hit the side of the mound. But that's not what lost us the game.
Rich Miller
I couldn't see it go in because of the mound in front of the green, ... I knew it was going to be close.
John Aubrey
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
Jake was total dominance on the mound. Brown's homer in the fifth was a big hit for us. It was a good district win.
Joe Murphy
He's got five plus pitches and great makeup on the mound. That's pretty tough for hitters, especially in late innings.
Scot Shields
She threw really well today. I think the more she succeeds, the more confident she gets, and the stronger she's going to be when she's out on the mound.
Pat Willis
They didn't even have a pitching mound so we had to build one out of wood.
Jason Ross
I'm very glad that I got to pitch the first five innings and not the last four, ... I was so nervous just sitting on the bench. The anxiety would have gotten the best of me on the mound.
Robert Ray
I have to keep remembering he is my pitching coach now. If I start thinking about when I was a kid and all that, I'll forget about what I have to do on the mound.
Ron Villone
We need to field better as a team, and I need to develop an attitude on the mound. I like to help out the team any way I can. Someone had to step up big for us.
Justin Shaffer
Along with Zach Fry having a pretty good night on the mound, the kids didn't give up. That was the big thing for us.
Brad Pocklington
Kevin told me while we were walking off the mound, ... He said, 'Ground ball coming to you right here.' He called it, and I got it.
B.j. Upton
She's so smooth on the mound - that's what I saw in her first start that caught my attention. Nothing bothers her when she pitches.
Mike Clamon
We had the lead, and we had the guy we wanted on the mound, ... Things didn't go our way.
Daryle Ward
Jake did a good job for us on the mound and really did a good job keeping their offense shutdown.
Joe Archuleta
I guess it's good. An outing like today makes me more comfortable on the mound.
Chan Ho Park
I thought our pitchers did a very good job on the mound. They kept us in the games.
Corey Held
We had some timely hits today and Nick Phillips did a good job on the mound.
David Dauzat
We expect [Stewart] to go out on the mound and do what he did today. He did exactly what he's expected to do and what I expect of him.
Willy Kingsbury
It seems like when I do well at the plate I do well on the mound, also. I guess one comes with the other.
Brad Hennessey
She's really matured. She has a lot of poise on the mound and doesn't let things bother her.
Mark Heiser
Kyle did what he was supposed to do for us on the mound. And we're going to depend on him to hit, too — that's just who he is.
Travis Biggs
It is important to go out on the mound and have a good outing (against Houston County) because you know if give up three or four runs, you are going to lose the ball game. They are tough to hit.
Clay Thomley
Jim was the story today. He was a warrior on the mound, and even helped himself out with the bat. He was just dominant.
Tom O'hare
I don't think we should ever lose a game on Friday night with (Lincoln) on the mound. They don't get any better than him in the nation.
Jake Stewart
He's getting more effective with each game. He's young, and you can see him growing up on the mound.
Vic Alkire
The lineup backed up the mound after Kris came on in relief. (Lake Hamilton) just got off to too big of a head start.
Bobby Hyatt
If she stays healthy, she will be a dominating force on the mound and she will give us a very good chance to win (when) we score the runs.
Cindy Snead
He was like a lot of guys. He went to the mound with great stuff but didn't really know if it was good enough.
Rayner Noble
I don't know any other way to do it. I take the mound with the focus that we can't lose. I've had that feeling for a long time.
John Smoltz
Kendra was a trooper. Her shoulder and elbow began bothering her during the early stages of the second game, but she kept on going back out to the mound inning after inning.
Bill Freeman
I really don't notice it that much. Football games are awesome, but when I'm on the mound I have to concentrate on the batter. I try to use that in football, too.
Jason Mitchell
Sam's just a great athlete, and a competitor. We're not sure how much we're really going to use him on the mound, but he wanted a chance to get some innings and got it done.
Greg Kaatz
That's just the kind of competitor he is, and I love it. When he goes to the mound we get everything he has. He's always, 'Give me the ball,' even in high school.
Matt Laporta
I knew it was going to be low scoring because Davis was on the mound. But Drew kept it together and kept it low scoring too.
Russell Brann
Well, it was my first experience to pitch in the game with the world championship on the line. I was going to feel a lot of pressure, as this is something you wouldn't be able to buy. But I did not feel much of it once I got on the mound.
Daisuke Matsuzaka
(Evans) kept them off balance. She did a great job on the mound and we did a great job behind her defensively.
Todd Bowden
We've been fortunate so far that we've been able to get runs early. When you have the defense we do and Brittany on the mound, that's a lot of confidence for our kids.
Leslie Stephen
I didn't put any pressure on myself. It had been awhile since I started, so I was more calm on the mound. That way I could stay there longer.
Ezequiel Astacio
He who thinks he is raising a mound may only in reality be digging a pit.
Ernest Bramah
He said on the mound he didn't try to hit me, ... I just looked at him and said, 'Come on man.' It really hurt. He nearly took my nipple off.
Eric Hinske
He said on the mound he didn't try to hit me. I just looked at him and said, 'Come on man.' It really hurt. He nearly took my nipple off.
Eric Hinske
But if you weren't here, you really couldn't probably fully appreciate the effort, the competitiveness and the fight that you saw on the mound.
Eric Wedge
The bottom of the batting order really came through for us today and Amy Kendall did a great job on the mound. We need to do a better job with our short game and getting some bunts down.
Eileen Schmidt
The thing that's really surprising everybody is his composure on the mound. The way he handles himself on the field, you wouldn't think he's 19 years old.
