Any time you really get whipped by an opponent, you have extra motivation to go out and prove not only that you can compete with them, but you can actually pull out a victory.

That's very uncharacteristic of our team. Defense is a strength we have and I'm not really sure what happened. I don't know if it was playing somewhere like this (Taylor Field) or us just not being in the game. I think it was a little bit of both.

We got plenty of guys on the mound tonight, and that was important for us. We needed to get some time out there and get them prepared for (the rest of the week).

I never got ran past like that in my life.

We're very excited about our new tenant opening in Columbia Mall. It fills the need for another entertainment option in Columbia and is a great accent to all the new renovations that have taken place here in the last 14 months.

I had the opportunity to come in with these younger fellows as a partnership, so I accepted. I'm just happy to be a part of this bowling alley. It's going to be a family atmosphere and a lot of fun.

Anytime you get shut out and really get whipped, you really have extra incentive. This is an outstanding team we're playing. It's going to be a challenge, but we're looking forward to it.

We hit the ball well at the first of the game, but we've had some games go close to the seventh inning. We know we need to close out games sooner, and we're capable of it. I told the guys that after the game.

I don't like to categorize teams I coach, but I really like this one. I know every time out I'm going to get a great effort from each kid, and we got that tonight in a game where we needed it.
