I missed a breakaway earlier in the game, and I knew that if I got another chance, I'd have to make it count. It was just a lucky break, actually.

I was surprised at how skilled their defensemen were, and we weren't ready for that offense.

It was a physical game, and we weren't expecting that. We didn't play our best game, but we got out with the win, and I guess that's all that matters.

I wanted a chance, but I'm kind of ready to get home, it's been a late night. But I definitely wanted to get to the plate to see if I could do it again.

I'd like to think we have a chance, and I stress a chance, to be pretty good. We've got some good pitching. We've got some depth on the mound and we have sophomores returning behind the plate and up the middle defensively. They're good players. We'd like to think we have a chance to be pretty good.

You can't applaud the referee. He's a young man and didn't give himself a chance. He's a fiery character and, when he's thinking he's been done an injustice, he reacts like that.
