Somebody knew somebody in Syracuse and we got a bunch of busted bats and lathed them down and presto, belay pins.

My Dad always liked Syracuse and we knew here that Colin (Barber) was leaving, ... We figured that this would be the best place for me. Plus, the academics are great, too.

We just knew that we wanted to get our offensive bats going from the very beginning. I think I wanted it a lot, too, because this is region play and we haven't beaten Spanish Fork in high school ball since I was a freshman. I just wanted it really bad.

We've got to bounce back and win a game at Syracuse. We knew a couple weeks ago we weren't going to be undefeated.

I don't like you two going off on you won. Just remember: behave. If I hear about any funny business, I will ground you until the Styx freezes over.

It's nice to have the bats come around. We had a bunch of hits, balls hit hard. Maybe we can get some confidence and get going again.
