Not a terrible start, but defensively we weren't attacking the ball, we weren't moving quickly, and we gave up five runs in the bottom of the first.
Second inning, we really need some points to catch back up, at least tie, hopefully take a lead.
Well, we only mustered up one run, so now we're down five to four going into the bottom of it.

Miller, you're gonna get your hit." And I kept going down the list, not because I knew exactly what was going to happen, but because I wanted them to stop looking at a 10 to four deficit and start thinking about the next at bat, the next base, the next run.
