Our kids are aware of where these teams are ranked. But I think this team will show up and play. They are battle-tested.

Their experience in winning came into play. They expect to win. They are used to winning. But I think the longer our guys play together, it will be an expectation for them, too.

We're going to play in a beautiful park, a pro stadium. It'll be exciting for the players.

The ballpark played kind of small tonight. So guys may have been nibbling at the strike zone a bit.

All of those were shots. He shortened his swing a little bit. He has been a little long. He's got enough strength where a short swing like that can be productive for him.

I'm proud of our guys. We faced good arms both nights and got our hits.
