We got more patient at the plate and the guys started waiting for their pitch. (Manchester) threw harder than their starter so it took some time to adjust, but we were able to get a few runs in the sixth and get the win.

We had a two-run lead, and I thought it would be safe the way Garrett (Groom) was pitching. After they hit the home run to tie it, our bats were done. We couldn't get the hits we needed to, and we are going to have to fight to stay alive tomorrow.

Levi had struck out his first two times at bat, and I thought about hitting for him. But he told me, ?Give me one more chance to hit,' so I did and he came through with the big one.
