Joe Hudak Quotations

They're a good offensive club. But we didn't pitch very well. You've got to give them credit. They swung the bats well. When we made a mistake they made us pay. We made enough of 'em. We left too many balls out over the plate.

I think we are certainly not intimidated coming in here or going to Miami or going to Alabama or wherever we have gone. The only place we haven't played well is at Florida State, but outside of that we have always played well against big clubs in front of large crowds.

I think that we believe we are a good club, and we are trying to show that we can play with other good clubs.

Most of the year, every time we've gotten beat we've come back ready to play. We got beat 10-0 on Tuesday and we won 10-0 here today. And I can tell you I like the winning 10-0 than the losing 10-0. It was good to see our guys bounce back.

We needed a big effort out of him today. His thumb was bothering him. It was getting worse as the game went on. I'm so proud of him, the way he competed.

We got up 7-0 and with Heath (Rollins) on the mound, you feel pretty comfortable. I'm pleased with the way we swung the bat. We had 10 different guys get hits.

It's like I said before. Certainly there is a good measure of satisfaction in that. My job is to prepare the guys. It's their job to go out, play and win. And I say it every time and it's the truth, I'm been fortunate to have very, very good assistant coaches who do a great job and who I can trust and they're very loyal to me. And I've had very, very good players. That's how you win a lot of games. You have good players around you and you coach a long time.

It's been a great streak and, hopefully, he can keep it going.

We're excited about getting ready to play in the Big South. I think it's going to be another great run. We're ready, hopefully, to defend our title.

It was a great weekend for us. Anytime you can go on the road and sweep a team, it is very difficult to do. I am really proud of the way the guys played today. It was a long day, and the guys are tired. We are going to go get a shower and enjoy our day off tomorrow.
