“Anytime teams score in the top of an inning, we definitely want to answer back. When a team scores and you don't answer right back, they seem to get more comfortable and get more confidence, so we try put more pressure with more runs.”
Chris Brown
“We have to capitalize on our scoring opportunities against a team like Walton. We had to score when we had the chances, and that's what we did (Friday).”
Mark Bloom
“I think everybody, when you're the top team, a lot of teams, everyone says they want you. I always say that usually when you speak out like that, usually it's the opposite. When you're saying you want something, usually you really don't want it. That's how it usually goes. The people that when they really want something usually you keep your mouth shut and hope that it happens and then take care of business. That's how it usually goes.”
Flip Saunders
“Good teams find a way ... when [the opposing] team scores, to respond immediately. We did that. Good teams find a way, with two outs, to produce runs. We did that. Those things are winning baseball.”
Pat McMahon
“It was a good game. When you beat a team like McDowell, one of the best-coached teams around, you feel good about that.”
Rob Bliss
“I was able to strike those hitters out like that after my team scored five runs in the top of the seventh and I just thought about shutting them out and that strong will really worked.”
Koji Uehara
“Against some teams, you just feel good. I think our team feels good against this team and when we see them we just keep going.”
