We had too many turnovers in the first quarter that pretty much started our downfall from the beginning. We panicked too much in the first quarter and we weren't really running our offensive sets that well.

I don't think we've taken a couple steps back. I definitely think we're better than we were at the beginning of last season. But we haven't progressed like I think we should have. But it only takes game for that spark to go and for us to get back on track.

At the beginning of the year, I think we hit our stride pretty well. But getting down the stretch, teams are keying on certain players and that's something you need to adjust to. I think we struggled with that of late, but there's definitely another level we want to get to and I think we're capable of. That's going to have a big impact on how far we go, and we realize that.

I think this is really pretty big and I think it's just the beginning,

Mom is holding up pretty good; it really is just beginning to sink in.

At the beginning of the year, I was pitching pretty decent but I wasn't getting the wins. Now, I'm getting the wins and helping the team win games.
