Playing that game in that atmosphere, and playing with the No. 1 team in the nation, just gave us confidence that we can play with anybody in the nation, and keep up with anybody, and beat just about anybody.

It makes it hard, because we know we can win the games. We just have to keep our heads up and keep on coming back every game and come back hard.

They hit a lot of shots with hands in their faces. They just caught fire.

We made it a point that we had to close out even harder to the shooter so they wouldn't get an easy shot off. We knew that was what we had to do because they came out on fire in the first half.

Adam pitched well and gave us another quality start. It's nice to know we've got guys like him who are able to go deep into games. We did the little things again today, such as hitting the ball on two-strike counts, throwing strikes and playing defense.

Anytime you can take two on the road, it helps. It's big for us, and we need to string them (wins) together.
