Matt had gotten them out all game. We didn't make the plays behind him in the last inning. He's a senior, and we knew he'd have the composure to get through it. |
Matt has been in some good games, but has come up on the short end a few times. It was nice to see him get this one. |
Our defense cost us in the end. We just did not execute like we were supposed to. |
That's a tough one to lose. The kids played hard and had a chance to win it, we just couldn't close it out. |
The difference in the game happened in that inning when their first baseman made that great play and took the momentum. Then they got a few runs and just ran with it. |
They'll definitely get up for that game. We sometimes tend to look at the immediate instead of what it took to get to this point - but they've earned the right to be here. |
We did a good job of running the bases. We took advantage of the opportunities they gave us and the kids did a good job of recognizing those opportunities. |
We didn't make routine plays early that could have gotten us out of some innings. But you can't take anything away from Auburn - they made plays they needed and got it done. |
We got some good hits tonight. |
We played well as a team. We executed our sacrifices, got two-out hits. That's what its all about - putting all phases of the game together. |
We've got three region losses by five runs. We needed that one. |
We've played really well and done what we had to do. I told the guys that we needed to win out to get to this point - now we just have to finish it. |
