Everything's coming together and we're starting to bat really well. We're going into a really big weekend [with three away games against conference leader Old Dominion] and it should be helpful to get some confidence.

In the first game, I took it personally when they walked Emanuele on purpose to get to me. It got me going a bit, ever since I've been trying to to keep my focus against Holy Cross and the best at-bat that I can. The season has really gotten better for me after that big first game against them.

I felt real good today. It's been a couple of games that I haven't been seeing the ball that well and the first couple of bats I couldn't hit, but that one hit felt real good.

This past weekend we didn't play well and we haven't been playing our best. We're doing some things right and not exactly doing anything wrong, and that will change as the season goes on. Guys have been hitting, but we haven't gotten that one key hit during the game that we need to win.

This is a clear human rights violation and it is regrettable that it is coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the independence of Sudan.

I consider this as a victory for all, as a victory for the democratic transformation and the new system.
