Those two wins against (UQTR) were big for us, kind of a confidence booster that we needed.

We've obviously played a hundred times better than we did in the first half.

The biggest thing I hear about is speeding around with your friends. I tell them war stories about people who are in wheelchairs, who will never walk again. But you get kids in a car and they?re trying to impress a friend, and the next thing you know ...

It was real important to get a quick lead like that. When you get up by a bit, it makes the game come to you a little bit easier.

Their guys were swinging the bat, but the umpire had a strike zone I liked and things were working for me out there.

The first inning, I tried to figure out where the strike zone was, where he was calling balls and where he wasn't, where I could work around. The first and second inning, really, was to figure out where the hitters were standing and where to throw them out.
