The wind was blowing out to right, but we still did a good job hitting, especially in the first. You want the guys to get some confidence and we stayed with it in both games, even when the first game went out of control.

They're great college baseball games. Awesome games. Their coaching staff and our coaching staff knew that they were going to be exactly like that, and probably two more tomorrow.

It was good to see. I don't think we've come back from a deficit all year, not even a one-run one.

That's the thing. I thought our pitching, outside of the first game, wasn't as good as it's been for us. I told the guys after the game, 'Don't start believing the stats you have. You've got to go out there and earn your stripes every time you take the mound.' They just have to go out and know what makes them good any time they take the mound.

He wasn't getting pitches that I think he thought were strikes, and sometimes he'll let that get to him, and tonight he didn't. I was real impressed with how he kept his composure and made just absolutely great pitches when he had to. ... He went out there and just battled his behind off and did a great job.

I'm real happy with how the guys battled back in both games. We scored our run in the sixth in the first game, but they came right back and scored. We had the right guys up in the eighth and got one around. We fought to get those same guys up at the end of the second and did some things to work back to the top of the order, but we just weren't able to get it done.

Troy picked us up so many times in two years and we picked him up on a bad day. It was just good he didn't have to pick up a loss. He had a bad day, but he's not worried. I'm not worried. It's bound to happen.

I think if we come out and play well tomorrow, we should be able to pick up a pair of wins.
