We might have ended up scoring more runs than we thought on both sides. I was real proud of our kids after we did give up the lead to come back in that seventh inning. Kyle Shipp and Eddie Jones came up with big hits.

There's a misconception about Carthage baseball. A lot of people believe anybody could do the job and be as successful, but I can tell you it's not easy.

I thought tonight was the first complete game we've played all year. It was a lot of hard work paying off for the kids.

I think the big thing in coming to this baseball stadium, is it makes me like I'm back playing big league baseball again. We went to a lot of big-time parks and stadiums, and after all the big places I've been, when I come here I feel like I'm back there again.

The biggest part of the win is that it gave us a playoff spot. That was our ultimate goal. Anytime you can go on the road against a good team and win, it's big.
