Tim Lockwood Quotations

It's been the story of the season. Even today, they only got two runs in the third, but we made some mistakes and helped them get their runs. That's not putting a loss on anybody - we still have to score more than one run to win - but it's tough to lose one that way.

Both teams played well. Unfortunately for Shannon, they got the run and we didn't. He's been the tough-luck loser the last two games in a row. It's good to see him starting to step up.

We're still young, but we have experience. We return all but one guy, so the players we have coming back know the system and know the routine. It's a more laid-back atmosphere than in the past. I don't know if that's good or bad, but we'll find out in about two weeks.

Shannon has thrown four games, and he's 0-4. But, especially in two of them, he's thrown very well. Today it was sad to see him get a loss in something like this.

It's their money. It comes from local revenues. They can do what they want with it. It's part of the local-control issue.

What we found is someone had tried to break into the network. Our responsibility is to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

He tried to stretch it to a triple, but he gout caught up with the third baseman a little bit and jammed his neck. They ended up having to carry him off the field on a stretcher. It was a scary thing to see.

I showed up at 9 and at about 10 the hail started coming down. About 11:30 or 12 we started seeing clearing past the trees in left field. Our kids got there at 11 and they were bundled up. We took (batting practice) and they didn't want any part of that.

We're going to carry 13 on the varsity roster, with a couple guys we'll move up and down. A lot of this team is coming back. The last two years, we've only lost two starters, and a lot of the kids we still have are playing a lot of ball in the summer. So far, so good for us. And we'll see how everything works out.

It was nice to see our kids come back. They fought hard. Obviously, we went up early and fell back behind, which is where we got in trouble last night. But the kids really pulled through.
