[Chris] didn't have his normal command of his pitches. That's the sign of good pitcher when he can not have his best command and battle through it, and he gave us five solid innings. |
But to get (South Bend) in the first round or to get them second doesn't really matter. Either way, you're gonna have to go through them. |
I can honestly say I've never had a team score 17 runs and I was on the top step [of the dugout] in the bottom of the ninth with a chance to lose the game. |
It couldn't have happened at a better time for him and couldn't have happened at a better time for us. |
We weren't playing they way were capable of playing. We have been playing better since. |
We'd obviously like to get in (the playoffs) as quick as possible. We just have to continue to play well. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight. |
