 Notes & Quotes
Winning coach: Chris Ledbetter, Oak Park (Oak Park-River Forest) - ``This is the most awkward situation I've ever been in. I'm ecstatic for these guys.''

``This is a good hitting group of guys but sometimes they get a little passive at the plate. We finally started to swing at the fast balls and making good contact. We were hitting the ball all over the place.''

``I'm on cloud nine right now but I know we will have to come and start getting ready for tomorrow but I want to enjoy this right now.''

``We talked at the top of the seventh that if we were going out of this thing then w wanted o go out battling. This is my first year as the varsity coach and I told the guys we want to hang around and see what kind of damage we can do.''

``The reason I didn't bunt is because we had times this season when we kind of reigned in and then had trouble getting the hitting started again. We wanted to go with we had going.''

Third baseman David Bethal on key hit in the top of the seventh - ``I just shorten up and tried to slap the ball. I didn't want to strike. I wanted to put the ball in play''

Pitcher Evan Blesoff - ``When the guys at the bottom of the order we on base we felt our confidence level raise. We have been hitting the ball pretty consistently and with those guys on base it gave us all the confidence in the world.''



Losing coach: Fred Bencriscutto, Carpentersville (Dundee Crown) - ``I thought it was a great game. We made some mistakes and in a close that usually decides it. Nobody tries to make errors, but sometimes it happens, and it is like a ball rolling down hill. It's hard to stop.''

``Nobody's happy about the way or season ended, but it is just one rock in the road. We had a great season and that's what we will remember.''
