The Marion County loss was a roll-over effect from the Florida tournament. We weren't loose or ready. Once the weather warmed up, we relaxed and buckled down. We began to play through mistakes.

I've been told the most wins in school history is 13.

These were much needed wins for the boys. You never want to start 0-6, but with the quality of teams I scheduled for them, it's always a possibility. Those tough games will make us improve faster and be a much better team late in the season. But right now I'm stressing to just focus on one game, one pitch at a time.

This was a good game to help heal some of the pain from the run in the All A Classic and to allow for some of the other guys to get plenty of playing time.

He did a fine job on the mound and our defense did the job behind him. I've told these young men all along our pitching staff isn't going to be the type to just overpower a team and they have to be ready to make that big play at any time for this team to be successful. Our pitchers know if they hit their spots and have control, our defense is able to make plays and that's what happened last night.

He probably threw the best game I've seen him throw in his career.
