Jamie Pinkerton Win Quotations

We were close. We need to find some way to get over the edge. We had an opportunity to win and didn't do it.

Obviously, we didn't come out and start well. We did a bad job of making adjustments. We've got to be focused for seven innings to win games.

Obviously, Sunday is our day. We picked up some hitting after a slow start and we had timely hitting. This team is young. They are learning how to win and win close games.

Four freshmen started tonight and they're learning how to win with good senior leadership. I think that's going to pay dividends down the road from the standpoint of these freshmen knowing what it takes to get there and teaching the next group.

That was a good win against a very good ball club. The key thing is they are learning how to win.

We need to continue to play like we've been playing all season. We just need to be relaxed and go out there and play a good, solid seven innings. Hopefully, we'll have an opportunity to be in a position to win some games while we're here.

It's just really frustrating because I thought in this series we had an opportunity to win all three games. And I think that's a frustrating thing when you're so close. And I think we're so close, but we're still a ways off.
