It finally puts us above the Cubs. They've been getting all the credit.

It feels great. It always feels great. But it's the players who won it. They never gave up. There really wasn't anything unique about them ... they just handled every fundamental part of the game.

I'm not really concerned with how many points we gave up. That's fine for us. What we did, we didn't score on offense our own selves. I know they're a good defensive team, but our offense just wasn't clicking.

What we're seeing now is escalation. Give us a year and we're back to standards that we had six months ago.

It came as a surprise to us.

It was a great ball game and everybody participated. Pequot is a good ball club and they beat us earlier. This was probably the best game we played all year. I'm proud of the girls ... really proud of them.
