Coach Dan Jameson says his team has won games of all varieties. “We had a couple bigger ones and then we’ve had some 8th inning wins where we’ve had to stick to it or got a run across late. We’ve had several one run games against some pretty good games. It’s been a pretty good feel so far. We just have to keep progressing and getting better. “They’ve been battling well in the zone and aren’t giving in to hitters. We are trying to get them to hit our pitch. The defense behind them has been pretty solid for the most part.” Coach Jameson says, “The guys are attacking the zone well and mixing the pitches up and being competitors out there.”
