Quotes and Notes


Winning coach, Ken Jenkins of Putnam County: "When the score was 2 to 2 they should have walked the man that was up to get to the next man. I'll take the blame for not doing that. That was the fourth game since regionals started that we have won on our last at bat. We have a good group of dedicated seniors. I wasn't surprised that the Rochester pitcher stayed in, we left our's in also. "


Losing coach, Don Alton of Rochester: "That is the first homerun that Messamore has given up all year. When I went to the mound in the 7th, I talked to Messamore about where to pitch the ball, and the fact that they had come back in their 3 regional games. The umpire called a fair game for both teams, but the plate seems to get smaller with each level of competition beginning with the regional. This makes it a power pitchers game. "
