I wouldn't hang my hat on it. Kids change a lot (between eighth and ninth grades). You have the kids in the spring and some kids play up.

I got out of a jam in the eighth. I got a little wild in the ninth and I just got beat.

A lot of students don't take seventh and eighth grades seriously.

Don't hang your hat higher than you can reach

If we can get outs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, we'll be fine. We're going to score some runs. We've got plenty of starters. But we've got to hold the fort down after the starter goes out.

Even when you're four up you are never really comfortable. He wins the eighth and the ninth to peg me back to two up and suddenly, bingo, it's a different ball game. But I did okay. There are important Ryder Cup and World points on offer here this week and after missing the last two cuts in Europe, it was important I won.
