Our defense has made seven errors in the last three games. I don't think we've made seven errors all year. (Ross) had a stomach flu the night before, so we were lucky that he could even pitch. It was a good effort on his part and we made a couple mistakes that cost him.

He's close. He's real close. It's just getting into game rhythm-that's all that is. It's not his technique, it's not his ability. You've got to get in a rhythm of competition and it just takes a while for someone to get started.

We're going to be in a hostile environment against a very good team. It's going to take us rising to the level of our competition (to win).

We've all had some good outings and some highs in the short season so far. Now it's just a matter of repeating those and stringing together some more of those good wins.
