I had gotten thrown out twice before (in a series at Southern Miss). It wasn't about to happen to me again.

It's huge. We've set the tone. Now we can go out and get the series (tonight).

You are part of an event that is happening all across the nation.

I was just glad to be able to go out there and help the team. I was able to get ahead of hitters, being able to throw my curve ball for strikes on first pitches.
