NOTES AND QUOTES


Winning coach, Danny Stevens of Massac County: "We thought if we could put the pressure on them early, then that would be a new situation for them to be in. We wanted to put them in a hole for a change. This is the most disciplined and focused group I have coached."

Losing coach, David Vieth of Nashville: "There wasn't a thought in my mind that we couldn't come back from being behind early. We just played bad defensive baseball today. I am very proud of my team for fighting back and showing a lot of effort. Give Massac County credit, they are a very aggressive team. "
