So far, the pitching has been very good. The hitters are still getting their timing down. The pitching has remained consistent and we are scoring enough to win and getting some timely hits.

We've been preaching steal, steal, steal. Cedric did a nice job. He's got a quick move, and we were seeing live competition for the first time. We will get that corrected.

Our guys are playing with a lot of confidence right now. They've been waiting for this season for a long time.

This was a good opener, and the way our schedule is, we should have good crowds all year.

There definitely will be stitches, so we're looking at three weeks right there. We don't know yet if there is any kind of tear or anything.

I just worked my heart out today because I'm a senior and this is my last chance to get to state. That's my goal and that's where I want to end my season.

We have a difficult portion of our schedule coming up now. We have beaten some tough teams. We will try to keep it going in the right direction.

Thirty-five games from now, I have a feeling Cedric will be a different pitcher than he is now.

Tony is an all-day tough kid. We have a lot of confidence in him to get out of those tough situations. I'm not surprised he came through today.
