David had one of his best games. He started the game making a lot of great plays on both ends of the court. When he's got that kind of energy, commitment and focus, our team's really good.

All three games have been great games. I think we finished real strong. After we cut it to one in the second, we really took over the game. There was a lot of intensity on the bench, and everyone was working hard. I was concerned when we went down 2-0, but we didn't get down, we stayed with it.

Mainland is accustomed to playing in big games, and they did what they had to do to win. We helped them some and hurt ourselves at the same time with some big mistakes, and you can't do that against a club like Mainland.

We like [Holden] on our team, too. We just have to keep him on track. The two games we lost in the playoffs the past two years were the two games he was supposed to pitch but couldn't because he was sick.

We won five one-run ball games at the end of the season. We were mentally tough enough at that point and that carried us ahead.

Those certainly were two really good games. And some things have changed for them, but they still have a really talented team.
