The guys didn't even know Wood River's record. I made sure to tell them that Wood River was a good team, a team that is going to come in here and give us a good fight.

It's Mother Nature. You can't control it. Coming off a win (Friday) night, it would have been nice to go out there and get this game in tonight and have a good series here. It's out of our hands as far as the weather goes.
