 Notes & Quotes
IHSA Class AA State Baseball Tournament Elfstrom Stadium, Geneva
Quarterfinal game 3 Friday, June 11, 2004 4:15 P.M.

Chicago (St. Rita vs. Joliet (Catholic Academy)

Notes and Quotes


Winning coach: Jared Voss, Joliet (catholic Academy) ``We had a game like that in a bit. We've been handling moist teams. That was one of the best games I've ever been part of.''

``Hitting has carried us a lot to this point, but our pitching depth showed today. I have no idea who is pitching tomorrow (Saturday). The St. Rita pitcher came in and did a phenominal job. He showed real guts and courage against us.''

```The fact that we have three teams playing on Saturday shows how competitive baseball is in the East Suburban Catholic Conference.''


Losing coach: Mike Zunica, Chicago (St. Rita) ``It was a very difficult game. We had chances we just didn't capitalize on. All year long we faced adversity and all year long we battled through it. Today, Joliet Catholic threw tough pitchers at us and made big plays.''

``We expected to win 30 games this year and get to the state tournament. I knew we were special. I knew we had quality people one to twenty-five. And that's just as important as having the best guys.''
