All the credit goes to our kids. What a great job after a rough first game, and it started on the mound. Evan Crawford was really good and he did an outstanding job of getting us seven innings. Justin Bristow and Jonathan Rasberry then provided big, clutch hits for us late.

Anytime you win a series it feels good. Our kids have worked very hard and they're very deserving. It's nice to see them get rewarded.
|
As deep as their outfield was playing there, you've got to take a shot to score there. I'd rather make an error of aggression than passivity.
|
As the record indicates, we've been fairly inconsistent. We're capable of beating anybody in the country and capable of losing to anybody in the country. That has been the consistent pattern with this club.
|
As you get older, you become more consistent. With a first-year player, every day is an adventure. You never know which guys are going to show up. I wouldn't say I get frustrated --It's just part of the process.

Chris has been good the last two weekends for us on Sunday. We had to take him off Friday and move him back to allow him to get his work in between starts. He doesn't bounce back and recover quick.

Credit (Lance) Cole for doing a really nice job. He didn't try to get us out with harder stuff and we did a poor job of making adjustments to what he was doing to us.
|
Every one of the kids that was in the lineup today has played well. I'm not going to make lineup changes after one night of us not doing a very good job of making adjustments.
|
Fall practice to us is like spring training to the football team. This is where roles are defined.
|
He didn't give up a lot of hard contact. We didn't help him. The bottom line was walks and errors. Evan has been solid for us all year.
|
He really drove that ball. I didn't think it was going to get out. I thought it was going to be a double, but it just stayed up in the air a little too long.
|
He will be limited. Where he might have been available twice in a weekend, he may only be available once. But having him once is better than not at all.
|
He's an explosive young hitter. He, like all the others, has a lot of work to do. We just want to get him healthy so we can get him in the field.
|
He's not felt very good since he threw Saturday. His arm feels great. The problem is he has some pain in his side.

I am pumped to play at Arizona State. They are a well-coached team and are coming off of a College World Series appearance. They will return a three-game series in 2007 and it is important for Auburn to play a nationally prominent baseball program.
