It sounds corny, but defense wins championships and that's what tonight was all about.

We're very scrappy. We're going to have to rely on defense until we can get the offense (on track).

I got into the guys a little bit at halftime. We came back nicely in the second half. The defense was great and I thought we did an admirable job all the way around.

Skyline held the ball. We made some switches on defense and once we took the lead, the tempo of the game changed.

Our pitching was not up to par and neither was our defense. It was one thing after another. We were bad, plain and simple.

We're getting healthier, and our defense has done a terrific job all year. It should be a good game.
