Sometimes you got to take advantage of what they give you. They gave us some wild pitches and let our runners advance.

Our top four hitters, if they don't get going, it's hard for us to get going as a team. When they get going for us, we play well, and when they struggle, we struggle.

We hit the ball extremely well from top to bottom. The kids came to play today. ...Our first five are real solid. But our six, seven, and eight hitters hit the ball well today, too. We saw the ball well and we hit it well.

This was big. To lose seven kids from last year, and have a bunch of sophomores step in and play. That's outstanding. I can't say enough about the effort.

We hadn't played all of spring break, so I was kind of worried about that. But I was proud the way we showed up today.

It's good for them to come out the way they did. I am just proud the way they showed up today. I had a couple players gone and a couple of them stepped up and played really well for us.
