We were not near aggressive enough to be effective on a day like today. We left a number of runners stranded. We just weren't able to get the hit when we needed it.

We've used it almost every day, we've used the turf a ton. It's been invaluable for us. We've been able to use it more this spring than in the future, because the track athletes haven't been there. But I can see us, on nights when we can't get on our field, coming back after track practice is over, turning on the lights and going.

It's impressive to see him do it when conditions are perfect. But to do it on a day like today ? we did have a little wind, the jump was falling apart a little bit, the landing hill was sticky and pretty deep and sunken in.

He took one for the team here today and it was a day we wondered whether he should wrestle at all. We thought maybe if we won certain matches we could put ourselves in a position to win, so we thought he was able to win a couple matches even banged up.

To dwell on the positive, we had nine different guys get hits and we played some better baseball. We hope that will generate some momentum going into the latter part of this week.

He just did a great job of managing the game.
