Ariel definitely came in ready to hit the ball.

I want you to be ready to take my place, Ariel Sharon told me.

This is a great place to hit. There's a great (hitters') background, and the ball definitely travels. There are a lot of hits out there.

He's definitely hitting the ball well. He hit a walk-off home run Saturday (against Lincoln) and he was big with two outs today. His three-run double broke the game open.

We hit the ball much better in this game.

Whoever we get in the next round, we'll be ready, definitely.
