Whenever you play a program the quality that Belleville West is, you have to take those opportunities, make them count and score. You may not get another one. We were fortunate to have that inning where we got a lot of breaks our way.

He just feasts on us. He's a great kid. I really like watching him play from a coaching perspective because he brings a lot to the table, not only for Waterloo but for our conference.

To my knowledge, we've never had a comeback like that. I know we've never come back on a quality team like Decatur like that.

Maybe the long inning bothered him, maybe he got tired. But no excuses, when you're up 20 runs, you throw strikes, he knows that. But he was very good in the early part of the game, so I'm not sure what happened. I liked his slider, it looked very sharp and his fastball was good.

When we start hitting, it gets contagious. It was nice to see us be on the giving side of one of those innings instead of the other side.

That qualifies as a ton of runs. Our hitting approach lately has not been what we teach. So we tried to get back to basics yesterday and do what we really believe in and for them to stay within themselves. That's what I meant by a ton of runs, for them to just stay within themselves and do what they know they do best. And that's what we did tonight.
