I thought Tyler pitched very well. He's experienced a little tightness in his arm and it's been a long year. He's thrown a lot of innings, but he made some tough pitches tonight. We need to take care of him a little bit. He's a little tired. We have to make sure we have him at full strength going down the stretch.

We did a good job of advancing runners and keeping the ball in play. It was tough. Their pitcher (Holt) has an odd pitch. He has that palm ball. These kids don't see much of that.

Aaron's only a sophomore and he's going to be a heck of a player. He had a good at-bat. He just popped it up. It's one of those things, (Monday) he hit one off the left field wall with two runners on.

I'm trying to get Hartsell straightened out. He really struggled tonight, but even though he struggled -- the numbers aren't that good -- I saw some signs that some of his stuff was coming back.

Overall I think we're gaining confidence. We still have a rough road ahead, we have these guys again Wednesday and South-Doyle on Monday but I see us playing with more confidence and enthusiasm.

We should have done a better job against their first two pitchers. Kirby-Jones had real good stuff, if he gets you out that's fine. I thought we weren't very competitive against the first two guys.

We've got some older kids, but not with a whole lot of varsity of experience. We're still a team developing. I'm not upset with these early losses. Really, I think it will help us down the road.

It's good to get Andrew back on track swinging the bat. He had a grand slam this morning and then a three-run homer tonight which was the difference maker. If we can get him to swing consistently like that, and with (Morgan) Costner and (Bryan) Crosby, we can cause some people some trouble.

It got the momentum right back to us. They came out and scored -- we gave them that run really -- Bryan coming and hitting that ball just makes a big difference.
