This was a game we might have lost last year.

I don't think any of our guys had their best stuff except for Ben for 2 innings. Nonetheless we didn't walk very many guys and I liked when we used our mound visits much better than last year. We probably let Ryan throw 100 pitches last year and maybe only use two guys. At least we have seen Stone in relief now and maybe we know Ben's limits a little better now. We'll see if they make adjustments to how guys are used going forward.

Not too many mistakes on defense. Errant throw on a pick off and missed the cutoff man late were the only notable mistakes I can remember. Milewski and Frei aren't going to win gold gloves but they did fine. Teel throwing their guy out at third was a big play.

Hitting is hard when they aren't throwing strikes. We had more runs than hits. Bunting needs some work.

Baserunning might be what won is the game. Nunnalee made a bad mistake. The delayed double steal we pulled off was the difference honestly. Great execution by us and that is coaching.
