Coach Tommy Williams' quote: "Nerves always play a factor, but he settled down after the first inning and kept them off balance. We knew that their pitcher coming in was going to be throwing a lot of breaking balls, and we told them to stay back. Kade put the ball in play and went 4-for-4. He's a great athlete. He hits No. 4, because he puts the ball in play, but he can hit for power too."
