If I had my choice, all the games would be exactly like that.

I've been in tough situations. I've lost games before; we all have. We just have to keep our head high and continue to grind it out and try to improve. If you let the last one hold you down, you're going to lose the next one, too.

It's bitterly disappointing but I've been told there's no chance of me making the Scotland games. I was really looking forward to them after our great results against Italy and Norway.

We could tell he (Thompson) was getting tired in the seventh inning. He started to hang a few pitches. The temptation was to throw him back out there for the eighth because he pitched such a great game but he gave us all he had.

Give the kid credit for coming off the bench and hitting a ball like that.

He (right fielder Jacob Anderson) has a great arm and I thought he was going to throw it to second. But I yelled at him and he got the message.
