bit chance compared definitely division forward fun games guys iii looking match nice playing schools starting teams
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.
build early hard lets mind nice paying victory win work
You get out there and you play hard, but a victory lets you know in the back of your mind that all your hard work is paying off. It's early in the year, but it is nice to get a win to build the confidence.

Matt's been struggling with the stick so it was nice to see him get a couple of knocks.
beat earn game last nice since stripes teams
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.
approach hard means nice paying positives program strides team wins work
As a team and as a program we really made strides in how we play and how we approach the game. There were a lot of positives that we can take away. The wins are always nice to see. It means the hard work is paying off.
again hiatus nice outside
It was just nice to be outside again after the two-week hiatus being back indoors.
confidence defensive funk guys job levels mentally nice
The guys are doing a nice job and they keep battling. We're just in a little defensive funk right now. It's more mentally than any thing. They just have to keep their confidence levels up there.
ask ball decent defense errors job nice overall pitchers pitching plate played relay staff throwing
Overall we did a pretty decent job today. We played well defensively. Our two errors were throwing errors on relay plays. They were nothing really major. Our pitchers did a nice job. We don't have a pitching staff that will get a lot of strikeouts. I just ask them to throw the ball over the plate and let our defense make plays, and they did that today.
against experience few games guys nice picked playing road second southern spring stepped successful teams tired trip
It was a successful trip for us to go against southern teams who have a few more games than us. We picked up experience by going out and playing the game. It was fabulous. It was a nice way to end the spring trip with a win. The guys were a little tired and a little road weary. They stepped up that second game and picked up a competitive win.
great hat job pitchers tip
Our pitchers did a great job today, I have to tip my hat to those guys.
bad errors gave sets sixth three
We kind of gave it away in the sixth inning. Errors are bad enough, but when you have three in one inning, that really sets you back.
baseball committing earlier good playing
We are playing good baseball right now, we are not committing turnovers like we were earlier in the year.
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.
balls defense fly moving playing runners small
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.
