We just played together. We were getting some ups on defense and just being aggressive. We were playing at a pretty fast pace.

A seat belt is your best defense against a drunk driver.

Both teams were ready for a battle. Defense and making the close shots was what this game depended on.

Our defense was phenomenal. We kept our marks the whole game. I would say this was the best game we've played overall this year.

This year our defense is more experienced, and they're playing really well together as a unit,

When you have a game that doesn't have but a couple of hits, that tells our defense didn't do its job. There was no way they should have scored three runs. I think we handed the game to them, but we have a chance to meet them again.
