 "I'm really proud of our fight today and be able to close out the series with a win. We did some good things in game one, including turning a crazy triple play, and that helped build momentum that carried us through the final game.  We were very young this weekend, missing a lot of kids, but this group gave everything they had and, it's a great building block".
