finally pressure struggling takes three
It was like Espinosa was out three times, and they never got him out. When a team's struggling and it finally scores, that takes the pressure off a little bit.
people pressure situation strikes throw
To come in and throw strikes and get people out in a pressure situation like this was just outstanding. He showed a lot of poise.
behind leaving three tough
That was a tough one to lose. We thought about leaving Gardner in, but he hadn't pitched in three weeks. We were kind of behind the 8-ball there, and we did what we had to do.
awful came time
That was an awful big play for us. It came at the right time for us.
bit fill solid step
That's unfortunate, because he's a solid guy. Somebody's going to have to step it up a little bit and fill that role.
along expect guys leagues maybe pulled team trademark
You don't expect guys that's in the big leagues to come down here and try to be a part of our team again, and see us do well, and maybe go all the way. That's been the trademark of this club, how well they've got along and pulled for each other all year.
bases chances hit
We had a lot of chances to score, but we can't get a hit with the bases loaded. I think we're 0-for-the-year with the bases loaded.
concern
It shouldn't be a concern for him, it should concern me that we're not scoring.
good heavy
It's pretty heavy - that's a pretty big trophy. But it was a good feeling. I'd like to do it again.
guy key took
That's a key guy in our lineup, you need him and he took an 'ofer' in this series. If he doesn't go, then we don't go.
bad easier last level move time year
Every time you move up a level it's a jump, so I think they're going to be better this year than last year - not that they were bad last year. I just think everything will be easier for them this year.
came clutch couple hits kelly
Don Kelly came up with a couple clutch hits for us tonight.
bring excited fans support
We couldn't have done it without the support of the fans and we are excited to get out there and try to bring another championship back to Toledo.
ball everybody pitch quality strike threw zone
We didn't pitch well all the way around, didn't make any quality pitches. Colby was up in the strike zone and couldn't keep the ball down. But everybody threw like that.
