(Johnson) got better as the game went along. We were fortunate to get the early lead. We did not have a lot of opportunities and took advantage of them. It all kind of worked for us today. |
As a result of the crash, we have at least 14 injuries, six of them listed as critical and eight listed as not serious or minor. We have had no reports of fatalities at this hour. |
Bernard Robert pitched well today. (Jordan) Davis and (David) Robertson got the last eight outs in the bullpen. They were all outstanding today. |
Both pitchers did a nice job. Wade LeBlanc was outstanding. He moved his fastball in and out and kept their hitters off balance all night. He was very good tonight. |
Dorn settled in after the first three innings and gave an excellent pitching performance. He had good command of the strike zone and got better as the game went along. |
Evan Bush swung the bat better today, the best he has all year. He came up big for us today. |
Evan has certainly done his part the last two weeks. Like any team, that guy in the middle of the lineup has to produce. He's just getting the bat on the ball more, which makes our whole lineup better. |
Everything's directed toward winning in the end. |
He mainly attacked them with fastballs. His breaking ball was better than last week, but it was mainly his fastball. I was surprised we were able to do that against their lineup. He is getting better. He is such a great competitor. He was nervous last week and I forgot that because he has pitched so well. He does not seem like a freshman. |
He was not as sharp in the first inning, but he got the double play and was tough to beat after that. |
He's just got to get to where he can throw other pitches for a strike, especially behind in the count. |
He's not been at his best, that's for sure. |
I am happy to be here at Alabama. By playing four games a week, I don't really have the time to dwell on things like this. Somewhere down the road, when I look back on this night, I am sure I will appreciate it more and more. |
I am very proud of our team. That is the best we have played. We came back from some adverse situations against a really, really good team. South Alabama can really hit. We continue to get better at-bats each game. This was a great win. |
I see a lot of names that they do have back, and we've had trouble with whomever they've had returning. I'm sure they'll get it turned around and be fine. |
