He's an outstanding pitcher. He's one of the top pitchers in the state. He's got a great career ahead of him. I know that a lot of Division I schools are already looking at him.

We didn't play very well. We didn't play well defensively. It was a long day for us.

Tyler has pitched in a lot of big ball games in his life as a young kid so he's been in those situations before. Today he was outstanding - Tyler was a bulldog out there.

This is as big as it gets within the baseball coaching profession. It's a tremendous honor and I feel it really validates my career.

This is a pretty good team and they have a good idea about how to play. Also, when you have a guy like Tyler pitching, it just makes the job that much easier.

I think we're a better offensive club than we showed today. Their pitchers did a good job of mixing up the speeds but I don't we played up to our potential, offensively.

He was our number one pitcher last year as a freshman. He's ready to go the distance and he's going to pitch a lot this season. We couldn't have a better guy out there.
