When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

We started out strong at the beginning of this year then went on a string of bad runs starting with Infineon. That really hurt us in the points.

If we can come away with a solid finish there, I think we have a good chance at making the 'Chase'.

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.
