We were in a position where we needed a pitcher [Friday] who was capable of elongated innings.

Kenny was pitching well until he got hit by that line drive and he battled his way through five innings.

It was a very well played game. We settled down after a couple of innings against a very good pitcher (Brittany Schmitt).

We have a confident feeling for what Razor [Ramirez] can bring. We have some tough calls to make.
