We didn't come out with any intensity. We looked like we were asleep in the first inning. You can't give a team like Central a five run advantage to start the game and expect to win.

It looked like he was going to have a 1-2-3 inning. That was impressive. The first inning, he was leaving a lot of pitches up. He settled down after that.

It was little things. We fell asleep on two defensive assignments. We didn't come out with any intensity, and we got down by 10 points [17-7 in the first quarter] real fast. I could sense this would be a struggle.

Through five, I did exactly what I wanted to do with most of the pitches. In the sixth inning, just made a couple bad pitches to some good hitters. That was it.

Me, my coaches, we're just all dumbfounded to what happened in that inning. You can't give a team nine outs in an inning. I wish I knew the answer.

The last inning he was throwing better than (the earlier innings). He did a good job of finishing.
