ben few good guys innings next struggled
Ben had a few first good innings and then struggled just a little more than we would have liked. But then the next few guys did well and pitched good innings.
build depth momentum pitching
You get momentum from pitching and defense. Our whole idea was to build depth in that pitching staff.
ball game knew played small
With as windy as it was we knew it was going to be a small ball game to an extent. So we went out there and played accordingly.
couple errors six unusual walks
It was uncharacteristic of us. We had a couple of unusual errors, but we still made them. If you would have told me we'd have 10 walks and six errors and still be in the game, I would have been surprised.
conference depth games gets nice pitching playing since three tired weekend
Since we are playing three conference games a weekend and some mid-week games, we have to have the pitching depth we do. It's nice to have because you know when someone gets tired you'll have someone else to come in and always make something happen.
approach ball good key plate quality swinging
When he is swinging the ball well, we are a much better team. His approach at the plate has been really good and that's the key to being a quality hitter.
greedy won
We won the first two in this series, so now we want to get greedy and get the sweep.
coming home michigan nice
It's nice to be home for awhile. Especially with Michigan coming here, it's going to be a big help.
biggest conference played team tough
The biggest thing is we got the win. No team in the Mid-American Conference is going to give up. When things got tough we played harder.
confident good
It will be a good match-up for our pitchers. We're confident they are up to the task.
continue great honor pitch
It's a great honor for any pitcher. He pitched well, but he's got to continue to pitch well.
early few hits knows
It's disappointing we couldn't get a few more hits and make a few more plays. If we could have just done a little more early in the game, who knows what would have happened.
ball carried gone good guys home normal pitches runs saw wind
I don't know if some of those home runs would have gone out on a normal day. But the guys saw some good pitches and the wind carried the ball well.
believe coaching says staff year
I really believe that is where you want to be. When you look year in and year out, you wouldn't want it any other way. I think this says a lot about our coaching staff and about our players.
