We're not going to put asterisks on any of our records. There have been so many rule changes, and so many changes in the style of play, and so many other things to consider over the years that we're not going to go there.

Really the last couple of times out we've really done a much better job of pitch selection with our hitting. We are hitting pitches we can hit hard instead of wasting at bats on stuff that is crappy. We've really looked very disciplined at the plate mentally and the results are you are going to hit the ball harder.

Our pitchers did a very nice job. I think we only had two walks, so they did a good job of throwing strikes. We didn't play defense very well. We got some nerves out. We started hitting the ball a little better towards the end. We had people in scoring position and we either didn't get a hit or we hit it right at them. When they got in that position we either made an error or they got a hit.

Our key was playing good defense and getting timely hitting, but we didn't do either one of those. That's why we lost.

If I had to do it again, I would use RDR instantly.

We didn't do this last year in Washington, D.C.. But the conference voted to bring it back this year.
