We are thin. We are just going to have to go with the people we got.

He (Austin) just missed his spot and it got out over the plate. With a big kid like that, he (Jimenez) just got around on it.

We got to get those runners in. This is a hell of a time to be going into a slump.

It will be more like linebackers than most of us look like now. That's the trend anyway, better athletes playing golf.

Abercrombie kept us off balance early but we had our chances. This is a young ball club and we knew we were going to take our lumps here early.

We're going to get there. We're just not playing with any confidence right now. We got to get better and the only way we are going to get better is to keep playing.

It was good to see some fight out of our team. We waited until the last inning to fight. We just have to come out here, keep playing and hope we get better.

We had opportunities to score runs early, but we didn't do it. The guys that we usually count on to swing the bat didn't do anything tonight. Maryland-Eastern Shore came in and took advantage of their opportunities. They did what they had to do. We have to play better than we did tonight.

We fought to the end. That grand slam broke our back, though.
