After that pitch, I knew I had to stay focused and calm down. I told myself right then that was all they were going to score off me tonight. |
He's one of the best hitters I ever saw. |
I came from that team -- I had every intention of sticking it (to Auburn). I get along with those guys, but my home is Troy now. I want to win every game against Auburn. Every time I get a chance, I hope it works out like this. |
I just had to stay calm. He threw me an inside fastball and I turned on it. |
I like having the ball when the game is on the line. I'm on more of a high when I'm coming out of the pen then when I'm starting a game. |
The thing about Tom is he's so consistent. Some guys are hot for a while, and then cool off. They're up-and-down, and that can affect the team. But he hits all the time. We all feed off that. |
They're a good team and they kept fighting back all night. We just swung the bats better tonight. |
They're a great hitting team but we were just better tonight. The five home runs are by the books now. It doesn't matter, as long as we got the win. |
This team fought hard all night. We are a very confident club right now. Last night it was Clint Robinson with the big hit. Tonight it was Blake Green that delivered big. |
We know teams are gunning for us. Especially after we swept South Alabama. We're a hot team right now, but we've got to go up there with the mindset that we're going to get a sweep or win the series. |
We were hot tonight. When you're facing a team that's hot, it's hard to stop them. |
When I hit 93, you know I'm in the zone. That's not my usual fastball. I was feeling the crowd. There was a lot of energy. I loved it. |
