That's the advantage of being the home team. You always get a chance to win it in the last at bat.

His game isn't necessarily to strike guys out. It's to keep the ball down and have our defense make plays, and we made some pretty nice plays.

He was pretty sharp. He was in control the whole game. It was nice to get him some runs early.

Every team in our conference is tough. You can't look by anybody. We've been the spoilers before and we've been in the lead in the past. In both situations you can't look by people and hopefully we don't. Because any team can come get you.

Every game in our conference is tough. We made a couple of nice plays there and that's hopefully where our experience pays off.

Ryan's pitched a couple of real nice games this year. It was good to get on him early. When he gets in a groove, he's real tough to hit. Our guys got on him right away and it was important to do that.

So far, guys have been picking each other up. If someone can't get it done, someone else gets up to the plate and takes charge.

He kept us in the game. He didn't walk anyone, he wasn't overpowering, but he kept the ball in the strike zone and did an overall good job.

We just didn't get enough offensive support. We had opportunities offensively and just couldn't get the big hit when we needed it.
