“We swung the bat well. We were doing that all year until the last week. We didn't hit the ball at all. We came out today re-focused. I thought our kids, for 6 1/2 innings, did a great job. It ended up not in our favor. I'm happy with the effort, but not happy with the result.”
“We tried a different warm-up routine [Wednesday], had him throw longer on the side, feel like an extra inning before he got out there, but it didn't seem to matter.”
