The first game was interesting. We had a four-run lead and squandered it, but Daly puts up zeros, Derek gets the big hit and Steven (Wright) closes it. Steven had to get his work in and 25 pitches was just right.

I just figured sooner or later something would happen. It's just that you have to keep putting up zeros on the other side against a team that is swinging the bat pretty well. Justin was able to do that.

Things were going well clear into Game 3 and then we squandered a bunch of points. I didn't call a timeout because I felt we'd pull out of it. We had our chances in Game 3 and then we collapsed.

We needed Rich to throw that fastball down in the zone better when we have a lead like that late in the game.

We had a good approach and swung the bats well early in the game. I was concerned in the eighth and ninth when we got a runner to third with one out and couldn't get them in. You know those things will come back to haunt you, but it didn't tonight. This team (Fresno State) is very talented and every single guy is capable of hitting a home run here.

You go into every series wanting to win the series. But when you win the first two you get greedy and want to go for the sweep. We're pleased with the outcome as a whole.
