Matt has pitched well. I thought when I recruited him he was pretty good, but I've been pleasantly surprised. He got the (offensive) help right away and that may have made it a little bit easier for him to relax. He's going to be a really good one for us.

I tried my best to get it here. I thought this was the year it really would have made sense for us.

I never like losing but if we win (today) we win the series, and that's what you have to do against the good teams.

Gilbert kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win which is what you want at that point. He did a really good job for us.

Our two freshman pitchers pitched outstanding today. They stepped up big for us and pitched the way you'd hope they would when you recruit them.

The whole day we were behind the whole time. We're just finding ways to lose which is really frustrating as a coach. We're not pitching very good at all, and we're not getting that timely hit. We make an error at the most inopportune time. Right now everything is going against us.
