Tim Funkhouser Guys Quotations

This was a good bounce back game for us. We got up early and had good at-bats throughout the game. The guys showed a lot of maturity against a Highland team that is always good fundamentally.

He came out right off the bat and threw strikes and competed well. I think this is a maturing process. The more games like this we get into and see how guys do under fire ... it was really good to see our guys meet the challenge.

We have a lot of depth on this team and it's making for a lot of guys playing a lot of baseball. I think our guys have thrived on the competition for spots, because they know if they don't perform, there is someone behind them that wants that job.

We had guys on base and the opportunities to score some runs and peck away at the lead, but we just never really broke through to get ourselves back in the game.

That was a tough game for us. We had some runners in scoring position and some runners on base eliminated and that hurt us. But I did like the way the guys kept battling in the latter innings. They never quit.

We've got a lot of guys that can play and do different things. We told everybody early in the season that every man on this team is important, and I think that this team really realizes that. It a really tight-knit group for this time of the year. It's a fun group to be around.

Those two guys both threw the ball really well.

We got a chance to get those guys out there and get them some work in and that was big for us in a game like this. They came in and pitched well against a good ball club.
