generating matter pressure putting score
If we don't score it doesn't matter how much they score. We're not generating and putting any pressure on their defense. If we can't do that, we can't be successful.
bat capable continue feels finally good pressure putting swinging
We finally started swinging the bat the way we're capable of doing. It feels good that we started putting some pressure on the defense. That's all we can do. Hopefully, we'll continue to swing the bat.
escape happy held kept momentum runs
That was big time. In that situation, I would have been happy to escape with two runs scored. That play held them to one and more importantly, it kept the momentum on our side.
count gave good guy quality settled shaky smart weather
He's always been a guy that we could count on to give us a lot of innings. Shaky first inning, but he settled down and really did a good job. He's a smart kid, quality pitcher, and once you weather what he did in the first inning, it gave him a lot of confidence.
confident fill forward good people problem team teams weekend
I feel very confident that we have people that can come in and fill in. I don't have any problem with the whole situation. I think we'll be as competitive as we can be and I look forward to a good series. Good teams make adjustments and we're going to find out this weekend if we're that kind of team that can make adjustments irrespective of some of the things that we have to do.

We had started him early and he had some hard luck as far as not getting the break. He'd pitch well and we don't hit. We wanted to see at giving him a different role. He's been very, very good about it.

We're coming together as a team and I hope it continues.

A lot of our freshman from last year that we had to utilize, they now are getting used to the pitching. We've been making our hits count.

Our seniors have been the heart and soul of our team all year. The way they've played, they'll be tough to replace, but we're looking for our underclassmen and recruits to hopefully step up next year.
ball defensive great hit momentum plays scoring team three thwarted type
They are an outstanding defensive team and they made three plays when we had scoring opportunities that thwarted any type of momentum we had. We hit the ball and they made great plays. That was probably the difference.

When you're in trouble and need to get those double plays to get out of it. You know that the team you're playing is swinging the bat pretty well.

We're very pleased with our pitching. It's just that we had opportunities to score runs and didn't do the kind of job that we can normally do.
certainly hits improvement looking needed patient plate selective
We got the hits when we needed them and that certainly was an improvement over (Saturday). I think we were a little more patient and a little more selective at the plate looking for our pitches.
