I was just trying to throw strikes. That's all I was thinking about. I had no idea that I had 18 strikeouts until they came out and told me I tied the record of 18.

We talked about how cool it would be on the plane out here. But we haven't really talked about it since.

It took me a couple of innings to get adjusted and I started to get in a groove about the fourth inning. My fastball and curve were really working well.

We just didn't swing the bats the way we should and we lost. We'll be out watching Hawaii tomorrow and we'll be pulling for them.

We had kind of thought about it (playing each other) on the plane over but we didn't really think about it a lot. It would be kind of strange playing against them.

I don't know what Coach is thinking; I don't know why he's trying to put me on the spot like that. He gives me a lot of credit, but I don't know if it's deserved or not because I have great players around me that make me look better than I am.
