This is the deepest pitching staff that we've had so far. And since we have three section games a week and our section is so strong, that could help tremendously.

This was one our better performances. We swung the bats well, ran the bases well and made the plays defensively. It was a great effort by the kids today, we really needed this win today.

I was a little worried about this game after the first inning. After we tied it up and took the lead, I felt Nick was in control and we were in a good spot.

Nick had a tough first inning on the mound, but after that he settled down and did a great job today. It's tough to win a game because of the rain but we'll take it.

We'll just have to battle back and we have to bounce back quick.

I haven't heard anything (about when he might return). I really don't know. He's been at games, and last week, he practiced. I know he's been working out. I think he's coming on our next trip with us.
