It just wasn't meant to be today. We came out a little flat, but the kids were trying. In the end the damage had been done.

I'll take that. We had guys get on base rather than just striking out. We just couldn't get the timely hitting we have been getting.

We have had some sickness this week which has set us back a bit. We had everyone back on Wednesday, luckily. We generally play them very tough at home, but we have struggled in the second half against them at their place. We are focusing on putting ourselves in position to win the game in the fourth quarter.

Every year it is traditionally a great rivalry. We are playing for second in the conference with Rochester. This is a big game for us. It will help us build momentum for the sectional because it will be a sectional type atmosphere.
