The kids kept hanging around. We were coming off a loss to MDI where we played pretty well but didn't finish well, and the kids took that to heart.

Three home runs in a night and a bases-clearing double isn't bad. He had a pretty good night at the plate and we got some more production from some other guys in our lineup. That's the key to us winning.

We pretty much hurt ourselves. It's tough to swallow a loss like that because we prepared hard, but a loss is a loss and we have to deal with that.

The kids are pretty happy. They should have the attitude of being able to beat anybody on any given night in our league. We want to win all of our games at home -- that's a big part of it. We still think the winner of league will have (at least) two losses.

The dates aren't carved in stone, but we feel we can pretty much hold tight to the dates we've laid down.

We lost some along the way, but a lot of young kids took part in the summer program,
