The positive on this team is that they're never out of it because they swing the bat so well.

We've had trouble giving up the big inning. It's been our undoing all year. We've struggled with consistency, and we've got to learn how to finish. But our kids don't quit. I think that's going to pay dividends by the end of the year.

We have five core kids who have been there before, but four young kids in their first year of varsity. They're learning as they go. It's just part of the process.

Travis did a great job after stepping into a tough situation. It was his best outing of the year.

Baby steps. Once you get through this, it makes you stronger. I want to get something positive out of it and come back stronger.

Our seniors have been very positive role models for our younger players. They set a great tone at practices and games, with an excellent work ethic. They've shown our younger players what it takes to succeed at this level.
