It was nice to beat a Big 10 team again. The win against Michigan State is a good morale booster for us going into these next six games before conference starts.
We had good enough pitching that we should have won both games (on Sunday), but the could of, would of, should of window is getting old. We not only didn't hit with runners in scoring position but we struck out.
I feel confident that we will win this series and make the adjustments, just having four opportunities outside to catch fly balls and take ground balls off an infield, I think we're going to be OK.
We're looking to attack the jugular on that first day and not really save anyone on the second day. If we dig a hole for ourselves, we're going to have to find a way to win on Sunday.
We didn't deserve to win that game. We had opportunities to win, but we ... made so many mistakes in that fourth inning, it was just a game in which we made far too many mistakes to deserve to win.
With everything we just did, you would think we're going to win that game. One minute you think you're going to win or at least tie it, and then you get a double play ball and the game's over so that definitely took a little wind out of our sails.
These are all guys that with one swing of the bat can put us in the lead or get us back in the ballgame.
The scouts who have been looking at (Shore) for three years have been waiting for this, he's been hitting all his spots recently. This is his third promising showing in a row.
It's a little of both. ... It's upsetting and disappointing. We have a 6-5 lead and we go to Schmidgall. ... I expect to win the ball game. We had Bobby Mahon ready to throw the ninth inning in a close situation. ... We just missed our spots today.
It's a little frustrating because we had to make the call pretty early (yesterday). We knew we may have a small window to play from noon to 3 (p.m.), but they had a nine to 10 hour drive back.
I think we have enough talent to win 40 baseball games, but we can't do it with nine guys. We'll probably continue to play 13 to 14 guys as starters.
It was good for us to get a win after the way we played on Sunday.
We're going to go right after them in Game 1 ... because I think it's very important to win the first game of that series.
