Quotes and Notes Winning coach, Greg Bee of Normal (University): "Jon pitched one of the best games I have seen him pitch. The grand slam meant 7 runs was going to be enough with the pitching we had left. " Losing coach, Brad Tuttle of Sullivan: "They are good, and have the pitching to go with it. We stuck with the pitching plan that we decided on before the game.
