We've been telling our team for four years that if they'd stick with the plan, we'll be able to play at a high level of baseball. I guess after beating Alabama and Auburn in a week's time, they're finally beginning to believe what we've been saying is the truth.
again believes couple early games kids kinds last ourselves several team trouble win
We got ourselves into some trouble early in the game, but once again these kids showed that they never give up. We have had several of these kinds of games over the last couple of weeks, and this team believes it is going to win every time.
defense good gotten hold wish
Everything we could have wanted out of Clegg, we got. I wish we could have gotten him the win, but we didn't play good enough defense to hold it.
bat exactly far fully trying
We're trying to get another bat or two going. We're trying to solidify things and this early, it doesn't exactly have to be fully solidified, but we're not as far as I'd like to be.

I would like to play a game or two in Montgomery, like we used to do. It's a beautiful ballpark and, if they'll have us, we'd like to play there at least once a year.

He's a guy that knows the strike zone well. We'll be giving him more opportunities.
ball continued early good happy hit pitch positive scholars-and-scholarship ugly whether
I don't know whether to be happy or sad. This was an ugly, ugly game. The positive is that we continued to hit the ball well, but we didn't play very good defense, and we didn't pitch very well early in the game.
coaches deciding hard league placing players sure time
I am sure the other coaches in the league had a hard time deciding where to place our players on the All-Conference team, just as I did placing theirs.
alabama altogether guys rolling series south sweep telling year
I would have never guessed that we would come out here and sweep South Alabama this weekend. But what a way to get us off and rolling in a new conference. We have been telling our guys all year that they are good, but it is another thing altogether to sweep a three-game series from South Alabama.

Mike was not sharp. He missed some spots on critical counts. He can pitch better, and he will.
best change edgar hitter moved season second switched tom
When the season started, (King) was the No. 3 hitter, and I've always been one to have my best hitter in the No. 3 hole. But Edgar Ramirez started off hot, so I moved him to No. 3 and switched Tom to the second hitter. Then we started winning. I figured, why change something that's working?
