I didn't shank eight punts.

I'm really nervous. I know I'm going to be playing next year. It's a question of being drafted or signing as a free agent.

Shank was terrific. Those were outstanding performances.

We played a triangle-and-two the last eight minutes of the game, and they didn't score.

We've been working at the hitting aspect. I think we had eight hits in our first game but just really didn't swing that well. Today, we did.

I am so happy for this team, for Mike Shank and for Mark Patterson. Everything went almost perfectly, and to come so close to winning this race I think really gives us a lot of confidence looking to the rest of the season. To be racing with this team and with Mark is an opportunity that I am very thankful for, and I just can't wait to get the rest of the season going.
