"I was frustrated with my performance the entire game. I wanted so badly to contribute and help my team win. In my final at bat I told myself to make contact with the ball. When I felt the ball hit the bat I knew I hit it in the sweat spot. I didn't stop running until I saw the 3B coach signaling home run as I turned the corner around 2B." - Rhys Hoskins.

I wish them a great off-season and look forward to meeting them in next year's playoffs."
