We're trying to find that right balance so that kids don't play too much baseball but don't play too little. We hope that we ' re offering them good value.

That's a wonderful program that helps kids who are in need. They get it done. I'd like to think this will be a long standing relationship.

Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.

We didn't play hard. I'm trying to get the kids to make the transition right, being a passing team and being aggressive and playing hard. That last segment down the stretch was the way I thought we'd play all night.

The baseball here is just a lot of fun right now. The kids all love baseball. They love to play it and they love to watch it. They're excited to be a part of this program and they take a lot of pride in it.

We did it to build mental toughness. That is what we are trying to get kids to believe in. That toughness gave us the mental edge that we need in tight games like this.
