We played great defense. It's cold (out here), but our kids defended very well. We threw the ball to the right base and we caught the ball when we needed to. I'm excited about that.

We know that we're not going to score a lot of runs so we're doing the little things at this point. We're playing defense, we're pitching the ball well and we're just doing good things.

They're good heady players. You can put them in a lot of different places. They responded well to varsity ball over the summer.

Their kid threw the ball well as well. It was a true early season pitchers' battle.
