We knew we were in for a game. It's elimination time. But when the home run came, it kind of gave us some relief.
I told them not to give the game away. I told them that if they wanted to win, go out and take and not give anything away.
I told these guys go out and have fun and do the same thing you've been doing from San Bernardino to now. That's all I can tell them is have fun because we came far and I can't believe we're even in the championship of the U.S.
They were pumped up. They said we're not giving it away and they came back.
When we say it's time for batting practice, they say, 'Oh, let's go!' When it's time for fielding practice, they start moaning.
I'm real honored. I didn't know this would happen. I just wanted to say thanks to the people for supporting us. Hopefully, we made the people happy.
He is just an awesome pitcher. He can really pitch ... the velocity he has, mixing his pitches. His outside pitch was really catching us.
We're so happy. I don't know. We don't show it too much.
We both came out of San Bernardino (Calif.) so they kind of knew each other from there and they're friends. It's going to be good to play them. We kind of know them and they're a good team so we just have to be on our toes.
It's elimination time and we were kind of tight. When the home run came it gave us a relief. That team is tough.
