Quotes and Notes


Winning coach, Greg Bee of Normal (University): "We had a tndency to put the bat on the ball, and we executed well. Pete threw the ball extremely well. We left Pete in the game to save our number 3 and 2 pitchers for tommorrow. The five inning game is a confidence builder, and saves on Pete's arm. We were aggressive from the start, so that we could get the kids motivated."


Losing coach, Joe Thompson of Carmi (C-White County): "I thought Marshall threw well. I give U-High all the credit in the world. When they started a runner the batter put the ball in play. I was impressed with their ability to hit with 2 strikes. "
