We were on the right side this time, it's a different year. It was a well-played game by both sides. It's a good start. We know we have to work on offense, but it's early in the season and we'll get better.

With the parks, I don't think we should be the test case for that.

When you walk six batters and make a couple errors, you haven't played your best game. The key thing about it is we didn't lose our composure, we hung tough, and got a win over a strong Newton North team who's undefeated.

Both of them were extra inning games. We beat them the first time in 10 innings down there and this time in 11. It's certainly a quality win. We didn't want three losses in the league.

I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more runs after that one big inning where we had six runs. We're playing fine. We'll find out where we are when we have a test against an undefeated Newton North team on Friday.
