This is the season-changer, this is the confidence-builder we needed.

He [Patrick] just threw a gem through four. I don't want to say the wheels came off, but he started struggling a little bit.

Cody Clinton's a big stick to have in the lineup.

I know we're going to jell together now. It wasn't only the injured players coming back. With the losses we had in our school this week, we played with a lot of emotion.

Before the year started the question was with our pitching. Everybody said we had a killer lineup coming back. But our pitching has been phenomenal all year. Our hitting just isn't there yet.

Nick has been struggling lately and he needed that to get out of a slump.
