We're definitely looking forward to our trip. The guys are excited. It's a nice thing for us to have a chance to play some other (NCAA) Division III schools on this trip. Granted, these teams will all have their 15 to 20 games in while we're just starting out, but we'll be playing teams that we match up with a little bit better compared to the NAIA teams. We're looking forward to a fun trip.

Our pitchers did a great job today, I have to tip my hat to those guys.

achilles ask bats defensive definitely guys heel pop sign swung team three
We swung the bats well and pitched really well. The guys have been doing what we ask them to do. Our Achilles heel is definitely the defensive end. We have two or three pop up in one inning. That is a sign of a young team and we are a very young team.

We tightened things up defensively. We are playing defense well and we did the small things like getting fly balls and moving our runners over.

Billy did a heck of a job on the mound for us. He battled the whole way through. He gave us everything he had.

It was a nice game for us to win, especially since a lot of these teams we didn't beat last year. We have to kind of earn our stripes in the conference.
