Our kids had two great days of practice. We responded well and were very determined. We had timely hits with runners on base.

The kids had a good practice on Tuesday, they let it all out. They're resilient. It was very important for them to do that. It's just a matter of getting kids to pitch and throw strikes, we'll be okay.

We told the kids that Roberts and Holscher can run. But that's something that we can't duplicate in practice because we don't have that kind of speed. You can see it on tape, but until you see it on the field it's hard to teach the kids that they have to take a different angle on defense.

The kids got to run some plays which they have been working on in practice tonight, ... It is always nice to see things run and work. It was a good match for us.

We'd go to the fraternity house. It was a good place to practice. But we really wanted the kids to overhear us. And whoever heard us would go nuts over it.

Once we saw we were in Division IV, we got excited about the prospect. The kids came to practice with the list and we were looking at the teams.
