Byrd threw good today. He had a lot of strikes and his command was better than it had been in his last two starts. With the big lead he was able to be aggressive and throw with confidence.

We are definitely on track. We are looking real strong. We just PRd about 75 percent of the team today so we are looking great and we are really looking forward to regionals and qualifying for states.

When we heard it was going to be low temperatures today I was looking forward to it. Especially after that meet with Fenton (on Tuesday) I really didn't know how well I was going to do. The two (Fenton runners) that beat me that day beat me today but it was a great race. It was nice and cool and I love the cool weather. That's when I run good.

Solo home runs can't hurt you if you're pitching that way. His command was better in the strike zone, and when he does that, he has success.

It was a good day in the Wedge household.

One-year deal, agreed in principle. He could sign it (today).
