Our pitchers set a miserable tone from the outset. We got burned. The amazing thing is we were within two runs of being run-ruled in the sixth inning. I'm really proud of our offensive team. It didn't quit, it didn't give up. |
Rob was perfect the whole day except for one inning. Absolutely perfect. |
That's how quick a game can change. We dominated for seven innings, but we sure didn't do much the last two innings. I was disappointed with that, but thankful to get the win. |
The key to any game offensively is whether you adjust to the pitcher. We didn't adjust to that pitcher at all. We didn't do much of anything offensively. |
The pitching was very good for both sides. We made one terrible mistake in the fifth inning and a guy hit one out and that was the difference in the game as far as I'm concerned. |
They can go get the ball with anybody and make all the plays. |
This is really getting to him. He's never really given his body a chance to heal. |
We did some good things today. Tyler Weber got a great bunt down in the second inning. We did what we needed to do, and we got the runs home. That was huge. |
We have a lot of depth. We can withstand some injuries and not be devastated. |
We just continue to make the same mistakes we've been making for weeks. We're not able to deliver at the plate. |
We knew if we could take care of business against Missouri State and Bradley -- and by taking care of business, I mean winning all of them -- we'd be in it. Anything short of that, we couldn't do it. We'd be at least two games out with a lot of teams in front of us. |
We knew if we could take care of business against Missouri State and Bradley, we'd be back in the race. Now we're a position where we can control our own destiny, if we play well on the road. |
We really played pretty well, frankly. There was a lot of enthusiasm on both sides, and it was a good game. I've got to be happy. |
We set a miserable tone from the start. |
We squandered some opportunities, but some of that may have been their pitching. |
