Notes & Quotes

Morton coach Gigi McIntosh:
"I'm very happy for our seniors to go out without a win, especially after this morning's loss."

"Both teams had some good pitching and no one wants to lose. As I've told my team, it's usually a break or an inch here or there that makes the difference."

"(Morton) pressed a little early because they wanted it so bad. But then they relaxed. Actually, even though we're the only returning team, I felt a lot of the other teams were quite poised at this level."

Fenwick coach David Power:
"This was a long weekend for us, but we got a lot accomplished. This was a great experience for our kids and our school. This was a great year at Fenwick, botha cademically and athletically. This is just the icing to a great year."

"This team went farther than any other team at our school, so getting this far was a great accomplishment."

"The third-place game, we were a little looser. (Ostler) did a nice job but they got one opportunity and scored the run."

"I'm ecstatic this team made it this far. We lived up to our expectations. I don't know about other people's expections."

"This was a great experience for us. I'm extremely proud of these kids, taking a fine Morton team to 12 innings after a tough loss this afternoon. That shows the kind of team we have."
