I definitely liked the effort. If our guys compete like that on a nightly basis, I don't know how many games we have left but I know we're going to be in position to win every game.

The big thing was to get runners on base and drive them in. We got a whole team effort and Jose Contreras pitched a great game and kept down their hitters. It's a nice way to start, so now we have to keep this up.

They like to run and they put a lot of effort into it.

We were really making an effort,

Overall we had a good effort. As a whole the defensive unit got to the ball and played physical.

We were a little thin tonight, but I was very proud of our effort. We've got to hit our free throws better. Still, I thought it was a good night.
