I was just looking for anything to get the run in. I was relaxed because it was tied. Even if I don't get a hit, it's not like I was gonna lose the game.

I follow Wingate, and I know they've lost a lot of tight games at the end. I really like closing games, so maybe I can help them there.

We're just a different team. People want to play and want to win. It's taken a long time, but we're finally there.

The past two games we haven't been hitting the ball. He had to be (critical) ? nobody was hitting the ball. We should've hit the ball a lot better, and we weren't focused on the fundamentals.

Coach Nash is a good guy. He gives you straight facts, tells you the way it is. They've got a real beautiful campus down there, and it's still close enough to come home when I want to. The ball field ? it's not Newman Park ? but it's nice.
