Defense is a big part [of winning] and running the bases. Tonight, we created a couple things.

(Davis) threw strikes. Our defense is good and if we get people throwing strikes we're going to get people out.

Our strongest point is our defense.

I always tell the pitchers to throw strikes and let the defense do the work. This was a team effort and the defense knows they were a part of this, too.

Defense was the key for us tonight. It's what Bulldog basketball is all about...getting in their face and forcing mistakes.

We stranded a lot of base runners tonight. Pat (Gonzales) finally got that big hit with the bases loaded.
