We were calling pitches to pitch around Ovens, but the pitchers weren't pitching it. It's that simple. We weren't calling for fastballs down the middle with base-runners on with the best hitter on their team standing there. They couldn't hit spots, and if you couldn't hit spots, he'll hit the ball. -Dave Moates

The kids didn't come ready to play from the start. We let that fly ball drop for a double. But they made several mistakes, and we didn't capitalize.
