Shout out to Erin Kuba for coming up big in the last inning. Kuba walk off single to win the World Series! Still don't know why they pitched to Erin after she crushed the ball against them for two straight games. - Skeeter 8/2/10

All of the coaches within the organization were an influence. Teammates as well as families and friends that were there for support. All of these people helped to create an environment that supported and encouraged the teams that I got to play on as a Blue Devil. I felt loyal to Blue Devils and appreciated the opportunities I was given.
