We didn't come out flat. They came out and swung the bats well. How can a team come out flat when we know what's on the line? It's Sept. 21 and we're 11/2 games out. They jumped out on us and never let up. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe.

How can a team be flat when you know what you have on the line? We know what this game means. We know what every game means. We're not going to come out flat on Sept. 21 when we're a game and a half out. They came out, they jumped on us, they never let us up. We scored three. They answered back. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe. That's what the game was today.

We swung the bats well this week.

Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right,

We swung the bats well against them. We're going to have to do it (Tuesday). Each game is different, each inning is different, so we just have to adjust and make sure we have a good plan.

It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight,
