Troy Schaefer Team Quotations

One of our goals is that we want to score first and jump on top and put pressure on other teams to perform. If we do that, we have a chance to be successful.

We were very fortunate to come out with a win because (Appleton North is) an exceptional team. Not a bad win for a team predicted to finish ninth.

It was a great time to do it. Derek Hendrickson gave our team a huge lift. He came in and went right at their hitters and kept the game close. Derek did exactly what we asked him to do and then Nick came in and did a great job and held them where they were.

I'm happy that we are 3-0. But there's a lot of work that we need to do. There are a lot of areas where we need to improve. But we are going to be a stronger team as the year progresses.

The great thing about our team is that we can bounce back from anything. We took a look at this game and we already put it behind us. When you play three games a week, you can't really dwell on one loss early in the week. We're playing a really tough Appleton West team on Thursday so we don't have a lot of time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have to be ready to compete right away.
