The kids are doing exactly what they need to do to win games, be it the clutch hit or the big (defensive) play. We have a lot of inexperience out there, but these guys are playing older than that.

We're a little gun-shy in the infield because of the errors, but after the first inning we were neck-and-neck with them. I think we have things turned around. After the first inning, we played really well on defense.

This was the biggest team win we've had in a while. Justin did an outstanding job on the mound. The defense came through and we had two freshmen step up. This was a big win against a good team.

I consider this a building block for the Commonwealth Games. It's nice to beat Neethling but I wouldn't have felt any different if he would have beaten me today. What I'm most pleased with today is my start which was a lot better.

We've had a lot of close games recently and we've been battling hard. Every game in the playoffs will be a battle. We all realize this and are aware of how important our success in the playoffs is, not only for us as a team, but for this organization.

I told our kids (the win) wouldn't be as big as a district game, because district games get you to the state tournament, and it obviously wouldn't be as important as a playoff game, but from where we were, at this point of the season, it was as important a game as we've played in a number of years this early.
