It was beautiful weather. I told the guys before the game that this might be the best weather we see all spring. We had a lot of fun.

My mom's reaction was the funniest. I told her I was playing in the All-Star game and she said 'why?' I explained, but she didn't understand. Then both her and my dad said they were proud of me.

This is the way it?s going to be every game. I told the guys to embrace it, not fight it, then go out and have fun playing the game.

As I told the guys, we still have a glimmer of hope. We just have to take them one game at a time. We have North Pulaski coming to our place on Friday. We haven't been playing well at home — for whatever reason. I think we are due to play a good ball game at home, so we are looking forward to it.

I told our guys if we're going to be Cinderella, you have to remember Cinderella was a beautiful young lady that turned eventually into a princess, and I don't think our guys want to be referred to as princesses. But, you know, the idea of you kiss a frog and it turns into a prince, you know, kind of like us. Before the tournament began, nobody ever heard of George Mason.

We had a couple of bad innings. It's unfortunate because I think this is a game that we could have won.
