Coach’s comment: “Our hitting was where we excelled the most," Rabatin said. "And we filled the positions that people had left, so it worked out fine."
The team's main problem, Rabatin said, was that it didn't play "small ball" very well -- meaning that it didn't find ways to score runs without getting big hits.
