25 Quotes by Todd Wilkinson

We started off kind of sloppy with some fundamental errors. But I was obviously very pleased with the pitching and, defensively, we played good ground-ball defense. And the outfield stepped up and made a couple of big catches.

My first task is how we can win the Group A bracket.

I can't imagine anybody else in our league that had a win and two saves and pitched in all three conference games while playing shortstop the other bit of the time. He continues to take the ball whenever we ask him to take it, regardless of how early, how long or how late he's played the field.

Fortunately, (Saturday) we didn't have to use too many pitchers and we didn't have to use Brock so he was ready to go. He's been doing the job for us.

For the way we played, we got exactly what we deserved. We didn't play sound, fundamental baseball. That's the first time in a while we've given up a big inning, and we had our chances to minimize the damage.

He is a strike-thrower. In (the CPL), if you throw enough strikes and let the wooden bat take care of itself, you will be OK. He keeps the ball down and is a very good fielder.

He gave us a chance to win. He threw enough quality pitches and held their offense down enough to give us a chance to get back in it but unfortunately, it wasn't a big offensive day for us and we couldn't get going.

We're proud of the steps they've taken. They've worked very hard to get to this point.

We're in the middle of it. We're rolling now. There won't be any let up.
