It’s always great to get ahead off the bat. It gives the pitchers something to work with.

[Fleming] pitched great and has been consistent for us. He pitched well in Hawaii and it continued here.

I think our offense is starting to turn it around and we’re going to need that in conference because everyone pitches well.

Riverside has great pitching. From what we’re hearing from other players and coaches, they might be the best pitching team in the conference.

I think we’re kind of the underdog in conference. If we keep playing like we have been, we should turn some heads.

Alden is doing a great job getting on base and leading off. Even when he doesn’t lead off he still manages to get the job done.

The team is starting to put it together. Our pitching and batting have both been a lot better.
