COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We didn’t come ready to play the first game and they wore us out. In the second game Lucas Maynard was really, really good. He’s been that way every time he has stepped on the mound.”
“… Offensively Jackson ( Feltner ) had an unreal week, Since last Saturday he is 10-16, 6 HR, 2 doubles and 13 RBIs in 5 games. He had 3 homers in the DH Thursday.”
“ CJ ( Fairchild) has probably been as consistent offensively as anybody we’ve got and he had a huge night too.”
“ It was good to play someone new, David Crockett was a very solid ball club and a class act.”
“ For 2 weeks we’ve not been as sharp as we need to be but we’ve figured out a way to win games. After the game 1 loss I talked to them about finding that edge and keeping it. Felt they answered that bell from the first pitch on in the 2nd game. Hopefully it will propel us down the last month of regular season in preparation for post season.”
