“After the second inning, I was as down as I've been in a long, long time, ... Emotionally frustrated. I was at a crossroads where I could continue to beat myself down or make adjustments.”
Curt Schilling
“We seem to have those types of innings every game. We went brain-dead there in the second inning.”
Johnny Olsen
“His dismissal in the second innings was exactly how we want to get him out,”
Ricky Ponting
“It was a good game. In the seventh inning, we had a runner on second. It could have gone either way.”
Ken Hibbard
“Crater played very well in the second game but we came through with the big inning and the win.”
Troy Thompson
“It's big having the first run for the first four innings, but after that you want that second run. It was nice at the end to see what the kids did, but in a big playoff game you have to get that second and third run in.”
Tony Esposito
“The second inning was better than his first. He had some nice pop, but when you can't get your second and third pitch over (the plate), teams are just going to sit dead red on the fastball and drive it.”
Mark Foulkes
