This is college baseball at its highest level and it takes some time to figure yourself out and figure out what (opponents) are trying to do to you. |

Those two are going to be very good players in this program. |
We gave them some runs. ... You've got to help your pitcher by making some plays. |
We had opportunities. No question about that. |
We have got to get the guys who are proven hitters back to where they should be. |
We just couldn't push a run across when we needed to. |
We needed innings with the league opener two days away. Jake gave us a quality start. He's going to have to step up and be a mid-week guy for us. |
We were able to get a lot of guys in and pile up some hits. It was good to see a lot of guys contribute. |
We'll just have to wait and see how long it takes to get the swelling down and flexibility back in his finger. |
We're going to need people to throw well this week. That's the key. |
When we get that done, we'll start turning it up as a team. |
You're always going to have ups and downs, injuries and illnesses. It's all about perseverance. You've got to keep plugging. Sometimes the puzzle comes together at the end, if you are doing everything right. |
