Dan Watkins Quotations

It was an amazing effort. We have all young kids. We just have kids that work hard and compete.

Obviously, we have to learn to play with leads. This is twice we gave up four- or five-run leads. We need to shore up the defense. We are not making outs when we should.

Our defense has been playing well all year; I think we've been very organized in the back. Our offense is creating a lot of chances. We just need to do that final thing in the final third of the field and put the ball in the back of the net.

It was good to see us able to get Wes in the game. He has filthy stuff, but got a fastball in the wrong spot (Wednesday). We couldn't get him in a game fast enough. I give him a lot of credit. He allowed that hit when he came in where they tied the game, and it could have played some head games with him. But, he settled down in the sixth and did a good job.

I thought that was the only mistake our defense made the whole game. We just didn't pick up the player in the middle.

We always work on it. You never know when the situation will present itself.
