After a loss like this, everybody's dejected. We made a couple mistakes, and a team like this won't let those go by. They're going to punish you. |
I can't say enough about the hitters. They battled counts - went up there with the mentality of not trying to tie it with one swing or 'we need home runs to win.' They just battled, got on and stuck to our game plan. |
My absolute top priority is to make sure that everybody has the ability and the right to go fishing and hunting. |
So far, so good. We've got one win here, we'd like to keep going and win a couple of more now. |
The recovery of the bald eagle is a great national success story. |
Vincent Spaulding pitched a terrific game. He got ahead of the hitters, kept them off-balance and made some big pitches to get out of innings. |
We are trying to figure out the obstacles and barriers to greater cooperation. Long term, regionalism is the way to go. And we're closer to it than we were five years ago. |
We're the type of team that will battle back. We don't let early runs get us down. We're a scrappy team. We manufacture runs and find ways to get on. |
What we have here at the Classic is power in numbers, especially when you have groups like BASS joining forces with companies like Berkley and Bass Pro Shops, combined with the support of state fish chiefs and federal agencies speaking with one voice. We become a powerful entity and through this initiative we can make the rest of the country understand just how important our natural resources are economically and socially. |
You got to hand it to Nate Samson. He got a big hit for them. The game was on the line and Forest got the job done. |
