My first task is how we can win the Group A bracket. |
Our pitchers did an excellent job. I am very pleased. We made several adjustments in trying to pitch to their outstanding hitters. We did a good job of that. |
That's an incredible week, a great four games for him. He has always been a hard worker in our program. Giving a guy that works that hard an honor like this makes him feel that all the hours he has spent are paying off. |
The big thing was our (Nos.) 7-8-9 hitters really came through. We've been needing production out of the bottom third of the order. |
We did a little bit of everything. |
We made about a 48-hour turnaround. We had really played poorly down at Aiken (S.C.) and our kids have got great character. They showed great pride and I thought they made a great rebound here at the end of spring break. When we can come out and sweep a conference series, that's really a testimony to their character. |
We started off kind of sloppy with some fundamental errors. But I was obviously very pleased with the pitching and, defensively, we played good ground-ball defense. And the outfield stepped up and made a couple of big catches. |
We're in the middle of it. We're rolling now. There won't be any let up. |
We're proud of the steps they've taken. They've worked very hard to get to this point. |
Yeah, it was pretty exceptional. Since the NCAA era, to my knowledge, there's nothing that approaches that. |
You never know how it's going. It seemed like a legitimate gamble. |
