It was kind of cool to have us all out there. Most of us have played against each other since we were little kids. I think it just speaks well for Ventura County and all the schools out there to have such a strong presence on this team.

Just like baseball, it's not all going to happen overnight. We are paving the way right now for the future teams, and there is no reason we can't go to a regional or super regional, and if the ball bounces the right way, maybe to Omaha.

I had a walk-off grand slam in high school against Royal, but it is definitely a little bit more special to do it in college. I just needed a base hit to win the game, but obviously a home run is a little more dramatic.

It opens your eyes a little bit. You could be having the worst day and go 0 for 4 with four strikeouts and you get these guys out here and see what they have to endure and it's a reality check. They are just out there having fun, and you take a lot from that.

They got up on us better than anyone has all year.

For us to have four turnovers, that was perfect for us.
