Kelly just had more success against Arizona. I was trying to match up the best pitcher against the type of team that we were facing that day, so I decided to start Kelly.
against alive attitude bats game jump
We're going to have to get our bats alive like we did against UNLV. We've got to have the same kind of attitude we did in that game and jump on (Sacramento State) early.
seasons teams
We are disappointed. It was just two teams that didn't want their seasons to end, and I think that's why it went on for so long.

We'll still be trying to get a feel for things this weekend. We worked on a lot of our communication problems in practice.

It's going to be a learning curve. We've got to roll with the punches. We are going to get better and learn from our mistakes, but I think our offense is really sound and we have speed and power. We don't have a lot of flashy players, but we've got a lot of workhorses, and now they have to believe in their roles and stick to our plan.

I've challenged the team to make sure in the future when we have leads that we don't let another team back in the game.
