Hey, you can't take anything away from Lakewood Ranch. They put their bats on the ball, threw strikes and played good defense.

That's the ugliest game we've played this year. It's time for the experience to wear off and the experience to come through.

In our case, we didn't play our best defense. We didn't throw our best pitches, and we couldn't catch a break. We hit the ball hard, but right at them.

I'm not afraid to say that that's the ugliest game we've played this year. We didn't play as well as you need to beat a team like Charlotte.

I think he did a great job for us. He threw a lot of strikes and threw out of some key situations. He made a couple mistakes, but that happens. I think our defense played really well behind him. ... It's just really hard to win games when you can't score.

Cuba is starting to turn it on.

I think the guys came together. We are starting to swing the bats a little bit.

I felt our hitting came alive today. And Andrew Adams is really stepping to hit well. He's only a sophomore and should continue to get better.

That's been our ticker right there. It takes three components to win a game, and we forgot one of our components. We've scored one run in three ball games. That's just not getting the job done. Right now I think it's all a mental thing.
