We always knew we were going to make a run sometime in the game. We just had to use our conditioning to wear them down and eventually the lead would break open for us.

I asked him why he didn't pick it up, run and score, ... But he knew the game was going to be over if he fell on it. He's a smart player.

I've got to get him a game sometime. We can't have total rust.

Throughout the game we tried to concentrate on keeping our composure. We knew they had a run in them, they are a great offensive team. It was just a matter of us not making mistakes we made before.

We were told he would pitch sometime in that first game -- possibly.

We really wanted this game. We knew we had to come here and win two.
