Ernie Whitt South Quotations

We had our best pitchers throwing against South Africa, our best lineup going. You know, sometimes games just happen. That's why you play the game. There's no question that we were on pins and needles.

Don't short-change South Africa. They're gutsy. They're young enough that they might not know who they're facing.

Everyone speculated that South Africa was going to be a pushover. It just goes to show, as I've said all along, you have to play every game as if it's your last in these type of tournaments.

We felt we were kicked in the stomach last night playing South Africa.

It was a wake-up call. Everybody speculated South Africa would be a pushover. I was surprised at the caliber and how good they were.
