COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We completed quite well and pitched Ok. Thought Sword pitched well and we threw the guys that hadn’t pitched much, couple of them got themselves in trouble with walks and then we booted it around a little too. We aren’t good enough to do that against really good teams. We have zero margin for error.”
