We've taken a tough road. We were swept at home, but rebounded to take 2-of-3 at Mississippi State. We are excited about this team.
arkansas battle came capable couple felt focused grabbed lead run series special stayed team throughout tough win year
I felt like this team was capable of doing some special things this year and this was a big win for them to battle like they did and clinch the series here in a tough environment. Arkansas had a big inning and grabbed the lead a couple of times but we had to make a run and we were able to do that. The team stayed focused throughout the game, leaned on each other and came out with another win.
team wants
I see a team that wants to make a run.
action bit gun night pitchers pushed quick stuck underrated
I think he's one of the most underrated pitchers in the league. In the first inning, he was pushed under the gun a little bit and he went to his two-seam and pretty much stuck with that all night and that's why he got the action and some of the quick outs that he did.
beating complete good played playing tech
Obviously, beating Tech is important, but just playing good was important. Moreau was outstanding, and we played a complete game.
guys heat struggled
They've struggled and it's put a lot of heat on our bullpen. We need to get some guys healthy, right this ship.
ahead bit brooks character early gave good hitters offense quick ready tough turnaround weapons
Brooks got ahead of most of the hitters today, and he's got too many weapons to put you away when he does that. He had his command, he got out of some early trouble, we gave him a little bit of offense and that's what we needed. We showed a lot of character with the quick turnaround after a tough 11-inning loss. We were ready to go and that's a good sign.
baseball cleaner doubt great hopefully leave tricky
It's a great experience, there's no doubt. I think the tricky part is you've got to leave it here. We've got to get back to what we do and hopefully play better and cleaner baseball this weekend.
found good head looks next pitching starter timing week
This is good timing for us as we head in to SEC play next weekend. We've solidified our lineup and our pitching plans, and it looks like we've found another starter in Trevor. We're still going to look at Stephen (Dodson) and Nathan (Moreau) this week too but Trevor was real good today.
bats coming freshmen good help nice pitches progress swing veterans
It was nice to see us swing the bats well and are freshmen pitches are coming along. We're going to need them to help us on the weekend, and they made some progress tonight. Offensively, our veterans did a good job.
bobby break effort good great hustling running
That was a good effort all the way around. Gentry got a good break on it and I thought he was going to make a great play, but Bobby was running right out of the box. If he's not hustling right out of the box, he doesn't make that happen.
playing type
Hopefully, he'll keep playing that type of baseball.
came challenge gained game games myth next physical rare seeing took win
The most we gained from it is seeing Kennedy. Not the physical part, but the myth part. It was a challenge for us. It's rare to go out and win a game like that, especially the first game. They came back and took the next two games from us.
effort entire nice team weekend win
This was a big weekend for us. We got a lot of big contributions, a nice effort by the entire team to win this series.
