That's why they're the two-time defending state champions. You can't take anything away from them. We have to play perfect in order to beat them, and the walks didn't help any.

They're a great team, You can't give them anything. So any kind of walk or error gives them that opportunity. And one-through-nine they're tough.

We've been tough the whole season. Like I told them after the game, it's over, there's no sense we dwell on it. We've got to come back and play tough in the tournament. We have a lot of good arms so I feel good about our chances in the tournament.

You don't go out and take anybody cheap. We're not going to shut everybody out, there's no way. There's too much talent in the league.

Our game is small ball and the kids know that. We're able to put hitters in good counts and if we continue to get people in good situations at the plate, we're going to do well.

In Coal City's previous game, they ran that play where they put a guy in motion and then threw the screen. Dylan read the play and came up with the interception. That was the dagger.
