I'm happy with a split. That's the No. 1 team in the state, and we know we can play with them.

He's our usual stopper. He just didn't have his control and they're a good hitting team.

No one was going to quit. We kept plugging away.

Butch came in the last two innings and we saw the old Butch.

He (Walters) threw well. He's getting there but he's just not quite back to last year's form yet.

We stranded a lot of base runners tonight. Pat (Gonzales) finally got that big hit with the bases loaded.
