That's the one fortunate thing. We're playing at their place and we're able to make it up.
couple cruise edge last playing putting seven sustain
We had a little edge and were able to sustain it once we got the 5-1 lead. The way we've been playing the last couple weeks, we've been going into cruise control. But we were able to keep it going, putting up the seven runs.
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.
dry fortunate playing rather return sponge trip weather
We are fortunate to have the return trip to Louisiana. It's not ideal, but it's better to play in sunny, dry weather rather than playing on the sponge we have.

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.

Matt came in and picked us up. He was lights out tonight.

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.

Justin wasn't trying to overpower people and get strikeouts. He had to stay within himself and learned that.

Steven got ahead in the count and forced contact. Everything was good.
