Brian O'Connor Game Quotations

Those big-run innings are important to open up leads. We took advantage of our opportunities toward the end of the game and a couple of guys got clutch hits and we were able to have a four-run inning.

Sean Doolittle absolutely set the tone for that game with his performance on the mound on just four days rest. He set the tone for the weekend and fortunately, Casey came in there in the ninth and we found a way to win at the end.

The key to game for me was how Doolittle managed his innings on the mound. He only gave up single runs when BC scored. A couple of those could have very easily gotten out of hand and he didn't let them. That gave us a chance to stay within reach.

When you lose a tough ballgame like we did on Wednesday, it is important that your senior leadership and your captains step up, and Mike Ballard did that today. He got us started back on the right track.
