Getting swept at Virginia, that's not a good thing. After (that) weekend, we kind of took it upon ourselves not to let it happen again. It worked out for us in the long run.

It took a lot of pressure off. Tonight we learned from last weekend. You don't want to come out in the first game and be kind of sluggish.

If you leave pitches up to a good team like this, they're gonna make you pay. The first home run I gave up, I hung a curve ball, so Danny Payne got a hold of that one.

Last week I didn't throw the ball that well. I was up in the zone last week. It worked for me this week. Having a big game like I did (Friday) was big.

Having a big game like I did tonight and having a game where I'm able to keep my pitch count down through nine innings is going to help out the bullpen the rest of the weekend.

Oh, we talked about it. The coaches talked to us and let us know we couldn't let that happen again.
