Frank Romero Few Quotations

I thought we were rolling along really good, but we just couldn't close the door in the seventh. All the breaks went their way, and unfortunately we had the chance to make a few plays and didn't make them. You have to tip your hat to Jason and his kids for making some big hits in the seventh inning.

Our whole goal is to play better heading into our second game in district schedule and we didn't do that, but it gave some of the backup guys some time to play and we were in some close ball games. You can only practice and simulate that a few times. There's no substitute for that. Hopefully this can be something we can learn from as we start district.

You'd like to get off to a good start. It's a long season, and you aren't going to be out of it early if you have a few setbacks. If you aren't ready to play every night, you will get your feelings hurt.

You got to take advantage of your opportunities, and so far we've done that. We haven't played well defensively. If you can make routine routine plays you can win ball games and we have to get to where we can do that. Some of the conditions were a little wet the past few days, but I think we will get better in that area, it surely gives you something to work on.

It's a big one. Tomball, over the last few years, has won as many games as anybody in the state. Their staff does a great job. Hopefully we can have a big crowd. It's a shot-in-the-arm for our kids. This may be the best ball club we've face this year.

I'm glad to have it. We played well early and Stephan pitched well. They came back and got a few runs. I was glad to see the top of our order hit well (6 of 9 hits). I'm really glad to get that one behind us. Jason Washburn does a great job at College Park. We're excited about playing The Woodlands tonight. We'll have our hands full, but we'll play hard.

I'm really proud of the way we played. Beau Ballard pitched an outstanding game. We scored a few runs early and made them stand up. We made a lot of plays defensively.
