They play that a tough pressure defense. They play with that intensity for the whole game, and our guys are not used to it.

We want to slow them down and not let them run. We can compete with them if we play good defense.

It's wonderful to accomplish this. This was one of our goals before the season started.

It was as if they played a perfect half. They scored 60 in the first half, and we try to score that for the game... . Randolph-Clay is up to 10 once they start warming up.

After that first inning, Ramon settled in and pitched really well the next five innings. And we played solid defense behind him. We just couldn't get anything going on offense.

I'm proud of our defense. They did just what we wanted them to do.
