NOTES AND QUOTES


Winning coach, Frank Ganser of Tinley Park (Andrew) : "It was a well played game. I can't say enough good things about Carmel, their staff and their kids. The Kane County guys did a fantastic job with this field. Dulko (Marc Dulkowski) did a heck of a job. He came back after two rain delays and pretty well shut them down. I feel bad for Carmel. They played well, their kid pitched well and they are a heck of a team."

Losing coach, Chuck Gandolfi of Mundelein (Carmel) "They let the teams win the game on the field. Do I think it's right? No, but if I was in the other dugout I would want themto wait too. This was agonizing. In all honesty we thought the gamewas going to becalled. They hit a pitch out of the park and they beat us. We didn't lose it, they won it. Our kids played pretty well. We have a tremendous mix of young men - sophomores, juniors and seniors who sometimes had to sacrifice personal stats to what we had to do as a team to advance."
