bearing coming couple mainly plan threw
He's been mainly our closer, and with the way he throws, he's just better off going a couple of innings, so that was the plan coming in. It had no bearing on his performance. In fact, I thought he threw pretty well.
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.

He was impressive. He's really fitting into that role well.

He's done that before. That was a huge play.

I've been really impressed with our pitching. We're throwing strikes and we're getting people out.

I've been really impressed with Kevin Sullivan maturing as a player.
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.
baseman bat coming defensive guy needed second swinging
He's been coming on. He's been our defensive second baseman and we just needed to go with a guy consistently there. When he's getting the opportunity, he's been swinging the bat better lately..
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.
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.
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.
