The kids are fired up. We set our goals earlier, like last year we want to win a few games, win a regional title and see what happens. This year it's the same kind of thing, but it's much more realistic. They're a little more optimistic.

He hit a bomb to center field with two outs. He is our No. 3 hitter and he is expected to drive in runs for us. That was a much-needed blow for us. You can't say enough about his performance tonight.

We knew we were due to just explode and have a lot of goals in one of these games sometime soon. It's a really good feeling.

It's frustrating. We gave up 10 goals in the last two games and we've scored only three. I don't know what is the reason, but we better figure it out as soon as possible because we have a game tomorrow.

These next two games basically seal our season. If we can win these next two, we've accomplished our goals. That's the thing we need to do, close the season out like we wanted to.

We had been scoring quite a few goals (lately). Up until the last four or five games, this team had won mostly 3-1 and 2-1 kinds of games. Maybe this was a little reality check or cold water in the face, that we need to play a tighter system defensively and try to win the 2-1 games.
