This was a huge win for us. We are right now in sole possession of second place in the region coming down the home stretch. We still have a lot of improving to do but this was a great performance (Friday).

(On Friday), he said his arm hurt. But he was ready to pitch today.

When you have a big game, the tendency is to have a down game the next day. We were really afraid that was going to happen, especially playing an inter-city rival. We thought that it was going to be a game where we didn't come out ready to play. We didn't get home until 11 last night. The table was set for us to have an off night.

Brian was ready for this game. We didn't let him pitch against them when we faced them earlier this year. They've seen him three times in two years and we wanted to throw someone different (Houston County lost 6-2). We wanted their first look at him to be here and he pitched a great game.

He's a really good center fielder. When we don't have him out there, it hurts us defensively.

That was great, wasn't it?
