This is probably our toughest week of the season. |
We are getting confidence in what we do. We have a good sequence now and we feel pretty good. |
We are in playable conditions right now, and anytime you are in playable conditions, you should play. You've changed the integrity of the game because of the conditions and it kind of turns into, 'Who can play through this?' I know I felt comfortable that we could play through it and get some runs. |
We are more spread out in talent this year. I'm not naïve to the fact that we're going to have growing pains. We've got to let the talent fly. |
We could have put Austin away with one or two more runs. They were down and dead. |
We did a pretty good job. It's just hard to lose no matter what the circumstances. |
We didn't think we were down or in trouble. I liked to see that we got the 3-2 [lead] and still got the next two [runs] after that. That's something we have lacked at times. It's hard enough to get three runs across but to get five is huge. |
We had some confidence and there were a couple of other balls hit hard [in the first] that were right at people so it could have been even more. |
We just need to have a better pitching outing. They had a big inning last time with the grand slam. You know they are gonna score runs. We're not gonna go out there and shut them out. We just need to keep it to one to two [runs]. Our offense has been swinging the bats well. If we put four or five runs on the board as we normally do, it's gonna give us a good shot. |
We want to get all the games in that we can. We know we are going to lose a few to weather up north so we don't want that to happen down south. We didn't get the same opportunity to start getting better. |
We worked hard to [get the bases loaded] but it's hard to put hits together. I think it was just execution, getting that one big hit. |
We're excited. We had a good practice out there yesterday in the field and it will be good to be home so we can start to find out our routine. We've had some pretty good success here on our home field, so we're looking forward to playing and opening it up. |
We've felt good and the past two games we haven't made any errors. We got some pitching and some timely hitting. We really manufactured some runs and played more of our game, so I think we've turned the corner here. We're pretty excited to get back into things right now. |
We've played so many games on the road, it's just something you do. We like to play at home, but I don't think it really takes anything away from us to go out on the road. |
[Alley has] been huge. That's what a senior's supposed to do. |
