We felt like we could play with the teams that swept us. We just needed that little push to get over the hump.

We're obviously disappointed we weren't able to continue when we had a chance to win the game. At times, we played very well, but we needed to do some little things better. We stranded a lot of runners, and while we didn't make a lot of errors, they came at costly times.

It was a tough day on all the pitchers, throwing into a wind. I thought the pitchers from both teams competed well, especially Aaron and Dylan.

I don't feel under any undue pressure. Every match we play there's pressure on us to get a good result. There is expectancy, hope, and people want to see us get to the World Cup.

A few of us are still going to play with his little brother [Travis, a third-grader].

We didn't have a good finish to the year. Now it comes down to how we play. For us, it's a youth situation, we'll be spreading the court out, it'll be a small style of game.
