NOTES AND QUOTES


Winning coach, Eric Regez of Herscher: "We felt extremely prepared coming into this game because we beat some very good teams to get here in Bishop Mac and U-High. Steve is a complete pitcher. The team seems to play our best defense when he is on the mound."

Losing coach, Jeff Sefcik of Driscoll: "Our errors tell the story of the game. I feel this may have been the championship of the tournament. Unfortunatley our pitcher did not have his best stuff today. I called for a pitch in the dirt, but it was over the plate, and the kid hit a homerun. "
