We played with a lot of heart in the second half. We battled against a very good Clear Brook team. My guys showed a lot of guts. Solid defense was the key to the victory.

We haven't been playing well but we played a good first half.

The difference was that we stood a lot in the second half. Against a team as good as Bolivar, you've got to do everything right.

Offensively and defensively, we played much better in the second half. We just dug too big of a hole.

That Tampa Bay team, the way they played in the second half [37-30 since the All-Star break], they can score runs, they're a challenge. Bart didn't miss many spots, but when he did he paid for it today.

We played pretty well. We had a very good first half, so I was pleased.
