It was nice to hit the ball well. It's nice to have a four-hit game but I haven't changed anything. The only difference was that tonight the ball found some holes.

It wasn't all that bad of a game.

best clean face glad hitter knew last single trying worked
Our best hitter was on deck. I knew the last thing he wanted to do was face Renteria. I would have been glad just to hit a clean single somewhere. The last thing I'm trying to do is hit one to the wall, but it worked out.

I think I just got as lucky as I ever have in my life, because I don't think I ever saw the pitch. It's just nice to hit a ball on the barrel, and more importantly, it's just nice to see us play good ball.

It's not a 'rah-rah' college atmosphere, but it's fun and it's exciting. We're here to win ball games. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing Little League again.
