early few hits knows
It's disappointing we couldn't get a few more hits and make a few more plays. If we could have just done a little more early in the game, who knows what would have happened.
came count hits obviously senior time
We got a lot of big hits today. They just came at the right time and J.T.'s was obviously a big hit. He's a senior and someone that we count on to come through for us.
hits score slower
We kind of started a little slower today. We were getting hits but we just couldn't score any runs.
biggest conference played team tough
The biggest thing is we got the win. No team in the Mid-American Conference is going to give up. When things got tough we played harder.
ben few good guys innings next struggled
Ben had a few first good innings and then struggled just a little more than we would have liked. But then the next few guys did well and pitched good innings.
build depth momentum pitching
You get momentum from pitching and defense. Our whole idea was to build depth in that pitching staff.
couple errors six unusual walks
It was uncharacteristic of us. We had a couple of unusual errors, but we still made them. If you would have told me we'd have 10 walks and six errors and still be in the game, I would have been surprised.
batting bottom depth few guys helps hit middle others
Batting depth is very important in a game. Sometimes a few guys won't hit well at the top, but a few others in the middle or bottom will, and it really helps when that happens.
conference depth games gets nice pitching playing since three tired weekend
Since we are playing three conference games a weekend and some mid-week games, we have to have the pitching depth we do. It's nice to have because you know when someone gets tired you'll have someone else to come in and always make something happen.
continue great honor pitch
It's a great honor for any pitcher. He pitched well, but he's got to continue to pitch well.
confident good
It will be a good match-up for our pitchers. We're confident they are up to the task.
coming home michigan nice
It's nice to be home for awhile. Especially with Michigan coming here, it's going to be a big help.
believe coaching says staff year
I really believe that is where you want to be. When you look year in and year out, you wouldn't want it any other way. I think this says a lot about our coaching staff and about our players.
chance experience former neat players speak tradition
I really just wanted everyone to get a chance to get to know one another before each season. It's been a neat experience because we have been able to have some former players back to speak and tell of the tradition here.
