Murphy presents a whole different challenge. It is going to be a tough sectional.

It was a tough field and really tough sectional. I'm a little disappointed with our scores down the line. Once again, I always like to count scores in the 70s, we get four in the 70s, who knows.

The sectional is always so tough. Only the strong survive. We did well. Nine of our 12 guys got wins and it was nine to see so many guys win a match.

He bears down in the tough situations, and we haven't been able to get to him. Lackey pitched great — he's been pitching great all year — and we didn't do anything all night. It's frustrating.

Some of the guys on the team had really rough regional and sectional weekends. We took some tough losses, but overall we have pretty good balance.

We've got a resilient group of guys. We're going to keep fighting. That was a tough one (Thursday), but we've turned the page and moved on.
