The big hit to me was Crawford's two-out base hit, which added the fourth and fifth runs. We were ahead, 3-0, and squandered a couple of opportunities. Then all of a sudden there are two outs, and he hits a ball off the wall. I thought that was the big hit of the ballgame.

They all had the same pattern. We don't hold on to nice leads and we don't tack on runs. Against good teams, you need to quiet them down by adding a run here and adding a run there. When they score, you answer them a little bit. But we didn't do it.
