They are an outstanding defensive team and they made three plays when we had scoring opportunities that thwarted any type of momentum we had. We hit the ball and they made great plays. That was probably the difference.

I think our speed and quickness is good, and we have the potential to be an outstanding defensive team,

A lot of our freshman from last year that we had to utilize, they now are getting used to the pitching. We've been making our hits count.

We had started him early and he had some hard luck as far as not getting the break. He'd pitch well and we don't hit. We wanted to see at giving him a different role. He's been very, very good about it.

I feel very confident that we have people that can come in and fill in. I don't have any problem with the whole situation. I think we'll be as competitive as we can be and I look forward to a good series. Good teams make adjustments and we're going to find out this weekend if we're that kind of team that can make adjustments irrespective of some of the things that we have to do.

There's got to be a review of the rules and of the names of the people who participated in the fight, especially those who came off the bench or left their positions.
