These kids deserve (the title). They've worked tremendously hard. We hope we're just now hitting our peak.

You never have any idea how many kids who could have been good pitchers never end up pitching (later). You see that happen all the time.

That was an excellent win. The kids came out and we got on top early and Dunlap pitched a real good ball game. Ryan just had one bad inning, and from there on he was in control.

Last season, we had only nine healthy kids. We hope to get quite a few kids out to the sectional meet. If things go well, we have a possibility of winning the regional, but there are a lot of quality teams.

You can see the kids, so inspired with the game of baseball. Without that, they have no hope. They don't have proper uniforms or just wear flip-flops, or go barefoot ... but baseball is baseball, it doesn't matter if you're barefoot or flip-flopped.

I think it was very educational for the kids, and I hope they learned a lot about the Commonwealth Games and the sport. The initiative was fantastic. Having the kids understanding about competing in sports and getting out there is a good thing. They have given me a lot of support, and I really enjoyed the visits.
