He's on a pitch count and he used half of them up in the first inning and got me a little nervous. But after that, he really settled in and got in his groove and pitched great.

Our defense abandoned us today and it made Joseph throw a lot of extra pitches.

Same thing, he started off a little rough, but he settled in, never gave up, threw his pitches, didn't put on guys for free and kept us in enough for our offense to do the job.

Evans pitched great. He was hitting his spots and to compound that we weren't making adjustments (at the plate).

You can never take anything for granted especially against Heritage. They fight to the end and some crazy things have happened between these two teams in the past.

I was extremely proud of the pitching staff. They did an incredible job.

We've been working a lot with hitting with runners in scoring position and two-strike hitting and things. When you get two strikes, you shorten (your swing) up and try to hit it square.

We needed (a hit there) with guys on base and didn't get it.
