It was good to see them come out without any jitters and we knew (the Pirates) would have their runs, they are a great team, have a great coach and we were just real fortunate to get this one.

I knew this AC Delco Chevy was really good in race runs. The guys had a good stop there on that last stop and got us a chance. What a good effort.

There was some really good pitching from both sides. I think there were a few jitters from our side, but for the most part, our guys gave us an opportunity to win that game. I think every day, that's all you can ask for.

The kids played really well and played incredibly hard tonight.

That's the best kind of game - to get everybody in and get those younger boys some experience.

They're playing great defense right now; it's fun to watch. This is the best defense I've seen in my three years here.
