balls early falling hard hit hitting matter nose start time
We were hitting balls right on the nose early on. It was those instances where you hit 'em right at guys. When you keep hitting balls as hard as we were, it's just a matter of time before they start falling (for hits).
catch control cruise early five fortunate good guys happy lead left louisiana mediocre playing results runs since tech western
I'm not particularly happy with the way we're playing. We had five runs on 11 hits, but we left 12 on base. We have been in cruise control since Western Illinois. We are fortunate to be 6-2 over that stretch. I told our guys we're playing very mediocre baseball. It's going to catch up to us. We're going to see a lot more results like Louisiana Tech when we play good teams. We get a lead early then go into cruise control. We didn't get to 19-8 by going through the motions.
approach bats capable concerned early eighth good guy haunt hitting home ninth runner single swung talented team third
We had a good approach and swung the bats well early in the game. I was concerned in the eighth and ninth when we got a runner to third with one out and couldn't get them in. You know those things will come back to haunt you, but it didn't tonight. This team (Fresno State) is very talented and every single guy is capable of hitting a home run here.
difficult early played schedule teams tournament
Of the tournament field, they've played the most difficult schedule early on, when you look at the teams they've played.
aggressive approach early team
In the first inning, you could see their approach was to go with the pitch. But when they were doing their damage, they were the same team they've always been, which is very aggressive early in the count.

injuries last playing pleasant root
Robbie is playing with a sense of urgency, making things happen. That is very pleasant to see. You have to root for Robbie because of the injuries he has had the last two years.
good growing hits last matt month pushing staff year
Matt is growing into a leader, working with the staff and pushing the tempo. If Esteban hits like he did the last month a year ago, he will be a good draft. We need him to get hot.
came lights matt picked
Matt came in and picked us up. He was lights out tonight.
best difference outing slider
I thought it was his best outing all year. He has his slider back and he hadn't had it for weeks. That made all the difference in the world for him.
himself justin learned people stay trying within
Justin wasn't trying to overpower people and get strikeouts. He had to stay within himself and learned that.

Steven was not good. He was up, and you combine that with a very good Arkansas club. You tip your hat to them.

Steven got ahead in the count and forced contact. Everything was good.
bit pitches slider steve work
Steve is in a bit of a funk. He can't get his pitches down and his slider was up. We have some work to do with him.
