Overall it was good to get outside the last two days, even though it was cold. To get out here and work out a lot of the kinks before we kick off the conference season on Tuesday, I think it will make a big difference.

Those two guys both threw the ball really well.

We had a few mistakes here and there. But for a first game you have to be pretty pleased.

He didn't crush it, but it got us a run there. He put the ball in play with two strikes and that was very important. We've struck out a lot early on and for him to come through like that was good.

I've been really impressed with Kevin Sullivan maturing as a player.

I think we've made good strides the three weeks we've had so far. We've got to be able to manufacture runs in all types of ways, so it will be real interesting to see how we do.

We just shut him down completely.

He had a good day at the plate as far as his overall rhythm and seeing the ball. He's got good speed and can do a lot of different things when he gets on to create havoc for the defense.
