Pete Dunn Quotations

Murphy did a great job for us in a difficult situation and got some good hitters out.

He's going to be a major, major factor for us this season. I know he didn't design it that way, but he did what he had to do to get us out of it.

I think we were due to break out, and several guys really hit the ball hard tonight.

Our guys really battled today and I am very proud of them. We swung the bats a lot better and played well defensively. This was a good win over a very good ball club and hopefully it will be a catalyst for out team.

Our pitchers were just horrible, horrible pitching with the lead. Everything you shouldn't do with a lead, we did. We started pitching from behind, walking people, hitting people.

Pitching was our Achilles heel last year. I think it's gonna be a lot more consistent.

Our nemesis all year has been offense. When you're struggling on offense like that, the last thing you need is to get down 4-0 in the first two innings like that.

We can't give games away like this. We stranded 11 runners. We haven't handled success. This team will never be successful if we can't go on a run.

We're certainly talented enough to get it done. We've been struggling because we haven't been playing to our ability level. So, I hope that we've turned the corner. This feels good, but we have to keep it up.

When you're having trouble scoring runs, you have very little room for error.

We are really struggling at the plate right now. Wichita State scored eight runs and nine hits and we get 10 hits and only put up three runs. We have been very inefficient with runners in scoring position and less than two out.

We didn't have a ton of hits tonight. But I'm extremely happy with how we played. We took advantage of every opportunity, and that's something that I'm very pleased with.

You need your pitchers to go out there and get three outs and give us a chance to win in the bottom of the ninth. We had a terrible mental approach today out there on the mound. Just terrible.

They made some mistakes and we were able to take advantage of them. In their defense, their outfielders probably haven't seen a lot of fly balls this year, especially outside.

This is very frustrating. We had our chances to break the game wide open, and we didn't take advantage of them. We were doing everything right, and we just gave the game away. Give Lipscomb credit. We opened the door, and they took advantage. But, we just gave the game away.

That makes it tough. We've been struggling to get our record above .500 all year, and it makes it tough to start the conference schedule by losing at home.

I'm glad we fought back. We got the offense together in (the dugout) as soon as they tied the game and said we can't change (the comeback), that we're all (upset) about what happened but we've got to get the lead back.

I know we keep saying this, but eventually a big win on the road will be the spark we need. We've had trouble taking care of business at home, but we've had some big wins on the road.

I really think we have one of the best defensive infields in the nation.

His fastball was moving pretty well and his location was excellent. And the big thing was our defense made a lot of plays for him.

For the most part, I thought our effort was much better today. We still made some mistakes and we have little margin for error, but the only way we are going to turn this around is to keep competing and giving it all of our effort.
