Wilton struggled with our zone in the second half. We probably should have used it sooner.

We were answering most of their shots and that helped. But it was still frustrating that we shot the ball so well and you knew that (the Mavericks) were going to go on a run.

We talked to Brady and Garrett (Jacobsen) about being senior leaders at halftime. Those two were big for us all game. Brady did everything for us.

Kautz is a good pitcher and it took awhile for my guys to adjust to (him).

We hoped we'd be further along. It's a little frustrating. We were hoping at some point to turn the corner. You never know.

From a coach's standpoint, one of the things I have observed this year is that Casey and Sam have become friends and not just teammates. I believe this has helped our team chemistry.
