Oh yeah, for sure. Just for our guys, really. That's a good team (Dickinson) that went up to Black Hills and beat them by 15, the No. 1 team in the conference, and we handled them in the second half. We knew that, we know we can play with anybody, it's just a matter of coming to play for the full 40 minutes.

against captain chris difference four freshmen knew knowing leaders playing pull rest role sean since team tournament
As a captain me, Sean and Chris had been on the team since we were freshmen so we knew the role we had to play as leaders on the team. If things were down, we had to pull the rest of the team out of the troubles. Knowing we had been there for four years we were used to the practices, going to the tournament and the difference between playing against rivals.
ahead biggest bit everybody guessing knew mix park rhythm settled start throw
I was able to get into a little bit of a rhythm there. The biggest thing was getting ahead. Once I got ahead I could start to mix in off-speed stuff, keep them guessing and off-balance. In the first inning I'd be 2-0 and everybody in the park knew I was going to throw a fastball. Once I settled down it made things a lot easier.

Any time you get a blocked shot, a big rebound, (or) a dunk, it can ease your nerves and makes it easier to play after that. But I knew the game wasn't over, and I kept that in mind afterward.
battle definitely easy favor kept knew knocked last means playing return
The last two years they knocked us out so we had to return the favor this year. It wasn't easy by any means especially at their place. It was definitely a battle and I knew it would be going in. We didn't get intimidated and we just kept playing like we have been.

We talked about it a little bit, just jawing back and forth. He was telling me that he saw the game (against Jacksonville) Sunday on TV and he wasn't going to have any of that. It goes back to those old days.

We just happened to catch up with her. It seemed like once we got a hit it became contagious. All those runs were with two outs so we happened to bust out at the right time.

We miss Ashley really badly... we know what he can add to the team when he comes back.

We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field, ... He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived.
