7 Quotes by Brian Ainsworth

We talked all week about hitting the ball to right.

(Starter) Ike (Martinez) was getting tired. He was losing velocity on his stuff. So right now we only have the two pitchers due to all the injuries.

We don't seem to play well in the opening game of doubleheaders. Our destiny is in our hands. If we win, we still have a chance to win the district championship.

We couldn't come up with the key hits. And we weren't mentally prepared on defense. To win, you have to play every play, and we didn't do that today.

Thomas faked a late steal and the pitcher bit by throwing to first. It's actually a play we practiced on for about a half hour the day before the game.

I told Thomas to take some of the velocity of the ball, and he started throwing strikes. His form was a little bit off. But he'll be alright. He just needs more reps in practice.

I didn't feel the electricity today. I didn't see the spark in the team's eyes.
