COACH COMMENTS:  "It's always tough when it ends, but like I told the guys, they have nothing to hang their heads for.  We had a very good season and I'm extremely proud of how the guys competed today and on the season.  They made great strides this year for themselves and Charlestown Baseball.  We really enjoyed the seniors and we'll miss them very much.  They were a big part of what we've accomplished here this season and they will leave big shoes to fill." - Coach Ricky Romans

COACH COMMENTS:  "What a wild ride!  I can't say enough about the kids and their effort in this tournament, especially tonight.  It definitely wasn't easy and we really had to battle to win.  Salem is a good ball club and my hat is off to them for a hard fought contest tonight.  We are extremely excited to get this victory for our players, fans, coaches, and our school.  It took everyone on our roster to make this happen and I just can't say enough about the guys and how proud I am of each and every one of them." - Coach Ricky Romans

COACH COMMENTS:  "Getting a couple of wins to close out an extremely tough week for us, is good.  Unfortunately, we didn't have a good overall week and we're just not playing very good fundamental baseball right now.  With Sectional week now upon us, it's time to pick it up because we're about to enter the time when there is no tomorrow." - Coach Ricky Romans

COACH COMMENTS:  "We just got outplayed tonight.  We didn't really play that bad, but Salem just put the ball in play and did all of their damage with 2-outs each time.  The first inning was huge.  I thought we came out very focused and ready to go, but it just wasn't our day.  We'll keep working.  We have to put this behind us and look forward to our next opportunity." - Coach Ricky Romans
