balls hit looks plays
I thought we had better looks at the plate. But you've got to give them credit. They made some plays on some balls that were hit hard.
eleven good hits looking production seventh top
We had a lot of production at the top of the order. At the seventh inning we were looking and we had eleven hits at the top of our order. That's really good to see.
difference hit string time
We just didn't string anything together. They got a big hit at a big time and that was the difference in the ballgame.
difference hat hit played string tip together total virginia
We just didn't string anything together offensively. If you look at the difference in our hit total from (Sunday) to (Saturday), it was only three. But there wasn't any consistency. I tip my hat to Virginia Tech. They played well.
both game head hitting lord stay thank
Especially when it's a head hitting a neck, you thank the Lord that they're both fine, able to stay in the game first and nothing serious.
approach balls beginning game good great guys hard hit jerk key opportunity talking
It was great that we had the opportunity to get those young guys in there. I think the key even from the beginning of the game was all of our hard hit balls were backside. I thought that was a good approach to have that we've been talking about with our players. They didn't try to jerk it or yank it.
came coming drive great hitter line smith thrown
It was a great call. It was a line drive right at the right fielder. He came up and made a great throw. You can't get thrown out right there, especially not with a hitter like Jake Smith coming up.
counts damage early focus game good hitters job lack
It's got to be a lack of focus early in the game. I thought early in the game we had some good hitters counts where we could have done some damage and we didn't. We have to do a better job of that.
bad ball key late leaving left lets
I thought the key was he was just a little late getting out of his glove. Mechanically, he was leaving the ball up. I didn't want him to get off to a bad start. Dustin (Sasser) went out (Saturday night) and left the ball up. I just told him, 'Keep the ball down and lets get it going.
coming duke game key lead point scoring third though
I though the key point in the game was Scott Andrews coming in first and third and Duke with a 2-1 lead and getting out of that inning without them scoring a run.
joking maybe skip sunday
I was joking with (Gary Overton) a while ago that maybe we'll just skip Sunday and just play on Monday.
move program ready realize tackle
I would say, that certainly, this was all of a sudden. I would say there was some concern. I think they realize where this program is at, at this moment, and they're ready to tackle that and move forward.
against baseball bunt college created creating easier good location situation team teams
I think it's about creating pressure. When you can get a bunt down in a good situation in the right location against a team defensively, now you've created where the team's got to make that throw. Even in college baseball as good as teams are, it's easier said than done.

We just didn't string anything together offensively. There's was no consistency, but I tip my hat to Virginia Tech. They played well.
