You can't lose two (if you want to contend for the Valley). Your chances wouldn't be very good.

Valley Housing has done a lot of good for a lot of people. It would be a shame to lose the good that's been done.

I think we're fortunate to get a split. I'm not sure we deserved a split. ... It's nice to get a win, but it certainly has given us a lot to work on. If there was any chance of (our players getting) any inflated heads, it's gone now.

They came to play. They played very well, I thought. I didn't think we played well. We weren't sharp, we weren't aggressive, and we didn't hit.

This is only the first league game for both teams, and a lot's going to happen (in the weeks ahead). But what this (split) does is it sets the stage for what's happened the last several years.

We're still leaving way too many runners in scoring position. We're looking for something perfect (at the plate), and we're getting called out way too many times. That's something that we're working on and we will get better at.
