Our starting pitchers did an excellent job and we played pretty good defense today, so it’s a good way to start.

(Game two was) a little sloppier on both sides. The temperature goes down, kids get tired, that’s high school baseball.

He’s quite an athlete, isn’t he? He can pitch game one, he can run balls down in the outfield, he can drive in runs. We’re happy to have him, put it that way.

He came back nicely. He doesn’t throw as hard as Kurtis, but he throws the ball over the plate, he changes speeds, he works quickly.

It was good to get them under our belt. North Carolina wasn’t really a close match. We owed them a little revenge there because we lost to them earlier in the year, so it was...

Every bonus point counts when you are trying to win it all.

I know Kurtis is going to generate some interest (from scouts) this year, and he needs to be able to handle that mentally. It’s a challenge, but I think he’s up to it.

Kurtis has grown up in a number of ways since last spring. Today he’s a consistent baseball player.

It’s a long way before this (race) is over.
