He's discovered his young squad's ability to battle back during its Southern League semifinals series, which the Smokies ended by winning their third straight game, 3-1, over the Huntsville Stars on Sunday afternoon.
"These guys have been knocked down a couple of times this year, they always come fighting back," Sandberg said. "At one point this season, we were 13 games under .500. Now we're going to the Championship Series. I just keep getting more impressed with this group of guys every week."
