Stuff happens. That's all I can say about that. I shot in and somehow he caught me. It was tough to come back from that, but I knew I could get third. That's the best I could do.

That (OT loss) told me I had to work a lot harder. It helps that I went to state last year because now I have a feel for everything there. You just have to treat it like another tournament. It's tougher, of course, like a free-for-all. Just making it there is a feat in itself.

I didn't expect to be that high (in the rankings). It's a big accomplishment, but it doesn't really mean anything. That's why, instead of cutting back, I'm going to work even harder in practice.

It's awesome just being part of this team. It may not have been our strongest team (in terms of veteran starters), but it was probably the hardest working ever.

It's very tough for me to adjust to new pitchers I haven't caught before. You just got to go and keep battling with them and be ready when they're out there and try to learn all the tendencies they like to do.

I was just caught up in the moment, that was a shot of a lifetime. Who would think a number 14 seed against a number three seed? The emotion was just so high. I was running around like crazy.
