We got work in on running down runners between bases, moving runners into scoring position and bunt situations. These are fundamentals you usually don't work on until district play.

It was a little of everything for us. It was good defense and getting out and running. That makes offense easy. In the first half, they were driving and scoring on us. We focused on containing that in the second half.

We're not overlooking John Tyler, but Mesquite has a solid team. They have good pitching, catching fielding and speed.

We can still have a winning season and end on a positive note. We can close out and play ball like we should have all year. We haven't played our best ball yet.

What Erica did, she's been capable of that all year. I think she is getting comfortable playing for us. She was relaxed. I can't say enough about her.

I am disappointed in how we played. I really think it's a mental block. We were so keyed up, we had a letdown.
