Obviously we addressed some needs after the losses we had from last year's team. To have the eighth-ranked class in the nation shows the work that Dan McDonnell has done to keep us in a position to continue to compete nationally.

We wanted to get him back out there and get his feet wet again. Sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want.

He only threw 47 pitches (Friday) and we just wanted to get him out there one inning and maybe two if it went real easy for him. We wanted him to pitch. Sometimes it doesn't work the way you want.

It was just a bad night. It is tough to win when you give up a 10-run inning. The kids kept competing. We could not answer the big inning. They answered every time we tried to start a run.
field pitch
I'm not disappointed in the loss, but in the way we lost. We just didn't pitch or field all night.

Not a lot of good has happened to us. And tonight, with their big grand slam, we showed a lot bouncing back.

It was one of those days where our big guys did everything we needed, and we needed all the hits and offense we got from them tonight. We needed every bit of offense we could find. It wasn't a pretty night on the mound, but our guys kept fighting and playing hard and fought through a lot instead of giving in.

The reason he got moved to the Friday role is that he gives us the best opportunity to win the game of anybody we've got. He deserves to pitch on Friday.
baseball both false good seen sides
Baseball is so much about confidence. How you feel about your swing, your pitching. I don't think it's a false confidence. We know we have to play well to win. We didn't play well in March. We've seen both sides of it, which I think is a good thing.
