Shane really gutted it out. That is the longest he has pitched for us and we had him for 75 pitches. Give him a lot of credit for gutting it out and being very effective. That was a huge factor for us to have him come in and shut them (Phantoms) down. They swing the bats well.
They got four in the first and we had an opportunity to come back and we didn't. Their pitcher struggled and we couldn't capitalize on that. We had to answer back and didn't. They did capitalize. They hit the ball well.
If you want to play a good team, you can't give stuff away. They hit the ball well.
I said to the guys - I've got to give you a lot of credit. It's cold, it's Friday night and we've got a game at 11 in the morning. To come back and win this game is just huge for us.
We made some mistakes, but it's typical Upper Perk. They don't quit. It's not the first time we've been in a barn burner with them.
