Mark Peterson Game Quotations

This was a game that we thought we obviously had to have. It kind of keeps us in the hunt a little bit.

Our youth showed tonight. We gave them the ball in good field position and they took advantage. If we hadn't done that, then we could have stayed with our game plan and stayed in the game.

We definitely talked about that. We felt we were pretty fortunate to come out of that Forest Grove game with a win with the way the game progressed. To come out with a win, it should have jump-started us for this week. We definitely talked about that with these guys. I was pleased with the approach today that they came in with. We were able to jump on them early.

We've had a lot of breaks go against us this year. Even in this game over there, we did not play well defensively. We gave them some extra outs and it led to their first run.

I wanted to make sure they got an inning as a workout. Both those guys might be playing on Wednesday. We haven't decided who is going to start in that game. We wanted to make sure they got one inning of work in this game situation.

The game was a little bit closer than what we thought. We ended up going with him for five innings. He threw extremely well.
