ball clutch early good happen hitting pressure putting striking
We got some clutch hitting in this one. It was good to see us put the ball in play and make things happen with two outs. We've been striking out some early on and now we're getting the ball in play and putting pressure on the defense.
both doubt good hitting
They were both tattooed, there's not doubt about that. They're a good hitting team.
against blowing gave good hard hitting mound nice wind
He did a nice job. We pitched well, gave up some hits, but the wind was blowing out and it was a hard infield so it was fast, I thought we did well on the mound against a good hitting team.
good runs strides three types weeks
I think we've made good strides the three weeks we've had so far. We've got to be able to manufacture runs in all types of ways, so it will be real interesting to see how we do.
exciting good nice start
It got a little exciting there. It's nice to get off to a good start like this, especially in the conference.
base broke guys ourselves runs score
We had guys on base and the opportunities to score some runs and peck away at the lead, but we just never really broke through to get ourselves back in the game.
conference good kick last outside overall season though work
Overall it was good to get outside the last two days, even though it was cold. To get out here and work out a lot of the kinks before we kick off the conference season on Tuesday, I think it will make a big difference.
base battling eliminated game guys hurt kept latter position runners scoring tough
That was a tough game for us. We had some runners in scoring position and some runners on base eliminated and that hurt us. But I did like the way the guys kept battling in the latter innings. They never quit.
believed broke game good key open plays quit seventh teach top win
We kind of broke it open in the top of the seventh with some more key hits. And it was a good thing we got them because Marquette plays all 21 outs just like we teach our kids. They didn't quit and believed they could win the game in the seventh.
areas ball hits key left runners runs
We left a lot of runners out there. Obviously, we got some big hits in the game, but we had some key areas where we could have scored some more runs if we just put the ball in play. But we didn't execute.
conference huge seed setting week win winners-and-winning
This was a huge, huge week for us setting up for conference as well as the seed meeting. To come up with a win here was very key.
behind competition depth guys playing team thrived wants
We have a lot of depth on this team and it's making for a lot of guys playing a lot of baseball. I think our guys have thrived on the competition for spots, because they know if they don't perform, there is someone behind them that wants that job.
felt fortunate hits score seven
With their pitching, you're not going to score a lot of runs. We had seven hits and we felt fortunate to get seven hits.
huge
He's done that before. That was a huge play.
