I just didn't execute when I had to, and they strung a few hits together. They're a tough team to beat.

We hadn't had an inning like that this year, when we strung together that many hits. We needed that. We used the middle of the field real well.

When you go through some tough times together, you find out a lot about each other. There's a lot of different ways you can go, and this team pulled together. And this was the result of it: 10 wins.

It's a combination of a lot of things. Knowing how to execute, knowing when to execute, their second team against our second team. We've got to try to figure something out, I know that.

We have to stick together for when the tough times come.
