We played well against them at Evansville. It was a seesaw battle. I remember that they can hit, but we've got confidence that we can take care of business going into the game against them.

Man, it felt good to play on Wednesday. I couldn't wait to get back out there. I felt like I was back in Little League again because it was so much fun just to be able to be out there.

Coach told me be ready all game. When he called me, I knew all I had to do was find a hole, which I did.

They have a ton of college kids watching the game, grilling out and cheering. There are no excuses now, we are getting used to playing with each other and are getting in a normal flow of game series.

They are a hot team. You feel confident in any game you play. A lot of our guys know guys on SIU and are really looking forward to going down there to play.

I want to set a path for the underclassmen. If us upperclassmen do that then the younger guys will see that is what the program is about. I want to leave it better than I came, set the bar high and keep it there.
