Weston's been drawing walks, but he hasn't been hitting the way he can. Today, he got back to hitting line drives.

Our hitting was slacking. Today we picked it up. I'm proud of the kids. I've been barking at the kids all week and tonight they proved they could hit.

We've had some slow starts, but we were very ready to play tonight. Wade pitched it well, we played good defense, and we hit the ball. I was proud.

At Northwest, Wade dominated some good hitters. He didn't have his usual zip on the fastball or the bite on his curve tonight, but the really good players still find a way.

Billy wasn't in the lineup when we were at East Rowan Saturday, and he got a little upset with me. That's not a bad thing. He showed me tonight he really wants to be in there.

It's a county rival. Every time we've played, it's been a big game ? it goes back years and years and years. They've kinda owned us the last few outings, so it was a big win for us.
