Zach Cady

track.

good chemistry we have.

Yeah, and that's what the key is for home talent is trying to stick together.

I know you miss a lot of things that go on on Sunday, but that commitment to be here is certainly a key to your success, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, we all obviously enjoyed a lot and that's why we show up every Sunday.

And what they have to do to improve and maybe make a run into the playoffs.

Zach Cady

I think we just continue on.

We just got to have good at bats and don't waste any of them and we're good enough to beat anyone.

The season starts to get to be really tough, especially as hard as these guys play and as much as we do on the bases and as much as we expect.
