He said it makes up for losing in the Olympics. He said he wanted to say congratulations and to tell the guys, ?Way to go.' It was nice of him to take that time, in the middle of the season and right after Olympics -- he had a lot going on. It was a nice gesture.
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.
The neat thing about this tournament is the nature of it, and how quick it is. A nice win here, you step it up in one game, and all of a sudden people take note, not just of the team but the players on it.
I realized something like this could happen, so you go out there, play hard and hope someone notices. It's nice to get that reciprocal feeling that they notice what you're doing.
It was nice to finally have a game in which we could have some fun and relax. We haven't had a game like this all season.
