[The win] was big. It has been since 2000 that we've gone in there and beat them. We never relaxed. Instead, we kept the pressure on them and blew them out when we had the chance to blow them out.

He's a big boy. I've never even stood beside someone that big.

It's a big win. They're a very good team. They beat Spruce Creek, who has a very good pitcher.

It was a tremendous win for our kids and it's always a big deal around here when we beat Jasper. The kids are so excited about getting things started with a win. They're not really getting the big head about it either. We've had a good couple practices the last two days. This group is not hard to refocus.

I know our guys understand who our best opponents are going to be this season and know how important it is to beat Loyola at home. The goal we've set this season is to win the regular-season championship. Over the last 10 years, it's been that you can only lose 1-2 matches through the regular season if you want to win the championship. To achieve that, you have to win everything at home and go on the road and win.

I was pleased with the job we did in game two. I felt like we really found our rhythm, and the guys were playing well. It was defense transitioning into a really great offense.
