Traditionally, we've been fast starters. We hit a lull early this season. We recovered from that and we've have been playing pretty good baseball.

That's what hurt us in the three losses we have, because all three of them were by one run. Early in the season we weren't getting those two-out hits, and now we're getting them. And that's the difference between wins and losses.

This is good and we needed this to get going again. We sort of hit a lull ? we got the injury and the loss. It's good to get us going again. After Gilboa, we were like, 'If we want to win the league, we have to beat Kortright twice now.' At least we made it interesting, but we still have to go up there and play.

We got off to a good start in the second half and then hit a lull. We got in some foul trouble and got out of sync with the lineup we had in there. But defensively, our kids kept plugging away. The longer it went, the better we got defensively. Gravette (17-10) was pretty much one shot and out late in the game and we took advantage.

It's too early for me [to give up on the season],

I've been asked to co-sponsor a bill by another legislator, and he'll actually introduce the bill. We can only put in five pieces of legislation this session . . . I don't feel like you can go into a job and just start introducing legislation that leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
