hopefully obviously step tough
That would be nice. Obviously that would be tough to do but hopefully someone can step up like J.T. did this weekend.
conference direction goal good last natural regular season showing steps title tournament win
Our goal every season is to win the regular season title and then once we get that part done, we want to win the conference tournament and make a good showing there. We have made steps in that direction the last two years - I don't know if this is a natural progression but I think we should be in the mix.
ball cap hit state tip
I still like our staff. You have to tip your cap to Kent State they hit the ball well.
bullpen dugout guy happy help might performed somewhere week work
I was really happy with how our bullpen performed this weekend. We think there might be another guy somewhere in the dugout that can help us out also - we just need to find him. We are going to work some different combinations this week to try and work that out.
four games liked played three
We played well and I liked our effort. Three out of the four games we were in the game.
few guys needed walked
We probably walked a few more guys than we wanted to. Overall, we needed a better defense.
count eggs ends good goose pitch strikes threw
Those are the things we need in mid-week games. He put a lot of goose eggs up, he threw strikes and his pitch count was low. It ends up working out pretty good for us.
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.
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.
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.
hits score slower
We kind of started a little slower today. We were getting hits but we just couldn't score any runs.
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.
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.
build depth momentum pitching
You get momentum from pitching and defense. Our whole idea was to build depth in that pitching staff.
