IHSA Class AA State Baseball Tournament Elfstrom Stadium, Geneva
Semifinal game 5 Saturday morning, June 12, 2004 9:00 A.M.

Niles (Notre Dame) vs. Mundelein (Carmel)

Notes and Quotes


Winning coach: Bob Kostuch, Niles (Notre Dame) ``Unbelievable!! Our guys never quit. We've never lost by more than five runs. I told them we could come back. We said,`Relax, it's a long a game.' These guys make adjustments so well.''

``Jeff's (Jeff Wisniewski) tough, his closing out the game was unbelievable.``

``The play at the plate was close, could have gone either way. He (the plate umpire) was close AND HAD A GOOD LOOK.. My reaction was emotion of the moment.''

``We had faced (Nate) Rittenberry before, he (Carmel coach Charles Gandolfi) was going for the kill. Rittenberry has been tough on us. Somehow, though, we came alive after the change.''

``Momentum is contagious. They feed off each other and they are able to keep things going.''


Losing coach: Charles Gandolfi, Mundelein (Carmel). ``I believe that baseball is the greatest game. You see things happen all the time and unfortunately we were on the wrong sided of the momentum. You have to give them credit, they never gave up.''

``We pulled (Mike) O'Leary because he threw a lot of pitches. He was getting behind in the count.''
