We invite good teams to the tournament. That's why we call it the Tournament of Champions. We feel these are good teams and we have good teams within our community.

It is nice to have something like this to showcase facilities. There are some really good teams in the tournament.

Good, because we'd like to have a tournament with all Pac-10 teams advancing far into the tournament.

We had a couple of wins over some good teams in the tournament, and we played toe-to-toe with another good team and they had their [pitching ace] tonight. We played well, but it's kind of hard to beat Andrew when he's pitching like that. A lot of clubs have a tough time winning when he's pitching. I can't say nothing bad on the way we played. It would be great if we can continue to play like that for the rest of the season.

It came down to what's beneficial for the league to get the most teams in the tournament. But I don't think they envisioned a league with eight teams in the Top 25.

This is exactly why we went to Reno (in December for the Reno Tournament of Champions). There are some familiar names and teams. I think that's good.
