It's a huge for win for us. It just feels like we got the monkey off our back.

It's all in front of us now. But before we can cut down those nets, we have to win a game.

Patrick didn't have his best stuff. He fought for us, but he didn't have his best stuff. They put a few good swings, you have to give them some credit. They hit a few good pitches. And they just played better than us tonight. So they deserved it.

He is a spitfire. Last year we took him to state with us so he could see what it was like. He is so much more relaxed and focused this year; he is on a tear right now. I hope that the tear continues.

They shouldn't have scored any runs in that (fourth) inning. That did us in.

We wanted it, and we came out on got it. This should put us on the map.
