The coaching staff is optimistic about this year's club. Nine of our 18 players are returning from last year's roster and we have some quality additions who will also have an immediate impact.

I'm happy that we got another quality pitching performance. The offense came alive and there's a 0 in the error column. If we don't get in our own way this team has a chance to do good things. Today was an example of them putting all three facets together and we came out with a good result.

The field has taken a beating in the last week or more. The way we've been getting the weather, there have been enough breaks in between. The big thing is keeping the infield level. It's taken some work but the outfield is not necessarily in prime playing condition.

Davis is tenacious at the plate, they pressured our defense, and we didn't execute defensively in a few key spots.

They didn't quit. We scored first, we had them down the majority of the game. They were tenacious about it. That's not to say we (gave up). We missed some opportunities. We threw the ball around a bit. They came back and took it. There's more to it than that last inning. This was a tight ball game.

This is a smart and athletic team that pushes themselves daily and has set their own expectation level very high.

Teddy pitched exceptionally strong. Our errors did come back and hurt us. Otherwise it was a good baseball game. It came down to who played the cleanest defensively and we did not.

Ted put the fingers down and Matt did exactly what the game plan was. Matt sure pitched a heck of a game today and it was nice to see. He works real hard on his pitching and it showed today.

You expect better when you get seven runs and 12 hits against Davis.

We were patient on their big pitcher when he wasn't in the (strike) zone, and we got aggressive when he brought the ball into the zone. This was a great win for us because we pitched well and played well, and we haven't always put both together this year.
