We're basically together all day. We have class together, and we live together. He's one of my best friends. He was one of the first people I met down here. He showed me around, took me under his wing, and he's just a great guy.

It would be a big statement. It would show how much Coach Cohen has done bringing the program to prominence. It would be great.

Usually you don't see too many balks, and catcher's interference is probably one of the most rare things you'll see. I guess we just battled through it. It was a close game, and we just came through at the end.

That's pretty much just my job -- get on any way I can. We have such a strong lineup behind me, guys that can knock in runs. All I have to do is get on base and I know pretty much I'm gonna score.

I guess it hit me in the wrong spot, right in the back of my shoulder. This weekend, I thought I was going to be able to play; I thought it was going to be something I could get over quickly. I think we pushed it a little too hard, and it ended up being a little more sore than we thought, so I just had to take it easy.

I knew he was struggling a little bit. Against (Ryan) Wilkes, ahead of me, he was staying outside pretty much every pitch. The first pitch to me was outside, so I was just looking out there, waiting for one, and that's where he threw it, and I just went with it.
