WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? Like I said, practice, keep it intense, always go hard every play, don’t give up.

INDIVIDUALLY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR GAME ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT? My pitching. WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE? Getting ahead in the count, throwing more strikes.

AFTER YOU’RE THROUGH PLAYING BASEBALL AT BHS, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT IT? Probably how many hours we put into being here.
