The good thing is he didn't panic, and he didn't rush to try to get people out. He let it happen after that. I was very impressed, not only with him but the pitching the whole time.

You can't really judge pitching on a day like today because anything can get out of the park. If you swing the bat hard enough, good things will happen. That was our game plan today, to get quality swings that we didn't have last time.

You circle 'em up. That's the nature of the beast, especially in Baton Rouge. It starts with football, goes right through basketball and to baseball. You're expected to win every one. Until you experience it, with a lot of the younger guys, it happens too fast.

It used to be a two-tier league. I can remember in the late 1980s, early 1990s, there were some automatic wins against maybe four or five teams. You were pretty sure to win two out of three. Now, I don't even look and see who any of them is playing this weekend. Because it's not like, 'Man, maybe we can catch a break.' You just have to play them all. There's not one team that I think you can label second tier.

Nobody believed they were any good when they beat us. Now, they must be good.

That's opportunistic. That's what we had not been doing.

That's the best thing about it. We came up with the hits when we needed them. Now, maybe that will give us some momentum.

It was a tough day to judge. We made some competitive pitches when we had to so I was very pleased. Today we had to fight through the elements, but that is one of the things you have to deal with this time of year.

It was brutal. With the wind chill, the temperatures were in the 30s. We've got a lot of kids under the weather right now. I'm glad we won't be playing in those kind of conditions again.

It's a tribute to the character of our club to come back and win this series. I'm very proud of the way the guys competed, and we hope we can build some momentum from this.
