That was the plan ? we had those three ready to go. I thought that was really going to pick the tempo up a notch, which it did.

I thought we did a good job at that point of picking up the people we needed to.

The guy jumped four feet for that ball. I thought for sure it was over his head. I guarantee you maybe one other second baseman in the entire big leagues makes that play.

I do think fatigue plays a part in that. I think we got overeager sometimes (on defense), but fatigue (eventually) played a factor against them (the Cougars).

We weren't ready tonight, but we were able to rise up when we needed to.

I wouldn't say this was our best defensive effort. But the press still was effective, particularly in the second quarter. I thought they started getting frustrated with it. They started passing it out of bounds a lot.
