We're just playing well as a team. The kids work hard every week in practice. We're off to a good start but the season's really long and there's a lot left to accomplish.

Our kids are starting to see what they're capable of. We had a good practice Wednesday and it carried over tonight.

I told the kids that the game would be different than practice. I was concerned because there's always an uh-oh period when you haven't played in a while. They had more energy than us at first.

The kids work hard on their hitting. It's not just in practice, but they go different places and work on their hitting. Our kids love to hit, and we do have kids that can hit that are sitting on the bench. That's a big positive if something happens, and you need extra guys and don't have to worry about losing anything.

All the wins are big for us. It is a good celebration for the kids. They work hard in practice.

Our kids just went to work. I was very impressed with their resolve.
