We did better at putting the ball in play, but we left too many on base. We didn't finish innings; that's something else we need to continue working on.

We've played hard all year and we'll play hard again on Saturday. Sure, we'll be pulling for Central against South. We want to stay home and also, to be a competitor, you always want to be No. 1. If you don't, you should get out.

I did play-by-play for women's basketball at Davis and also had a sports talk show. I had been out of broadcasting for several years, but I wanted to get back into the business. This format affords people who want to do it as a hobby or gain experience.

I'm glad how the kids responded and came to the ballpark today ready to play. It was a solid effort on our part to play a first-place team and keep us in the thick of the race.

To me, getting notes, honing the part, and refining the role is the real fun of the play.

I hear they play very physical.
