He's a total turnaround from (junior varsity) last year. He's around the plate and makes them swing the bat. That's all you can ask.

They hit the ball well. We didn't hit spots with pitches and paid for it.

He's been on the shelf, (but) he threw well. It was feast or famine ? 10 strikeouts and five walks ? but overall, he did a good job.

He pitched well. He hadn't thrown in a while, but he's been pretty consistent. He keeps the ball low and lets his defense help him.

It's going to take a lot of things going our way. If Crescent City or Pierson Taylor could pull an upset (of Keystone), that could help us (in the finals) ? if we beat Union County.

They saw him at his worst. He's going to be around the plate.
