The kid is in a league of his own. He throws pretty hard, mid-80s. And he has a very, very effective slider. He was basically untouchable today. He was just awesome, right out of the chute. You could tell it was going to be a tough day at the office.

It's a testament to the kids. It was our second comeback win in the last three games.

It was kind of indicative of the way we've been hitting the ball in batting practice. But you don't expect it to translate into a game situation. We had some good situational hitting and we hit the ball real hard.

It was definitely more challenging coming off the season that we had. Several schools had the same dates available that we did but did not want to play us. I think our home winning streak and the environment that our fans have created to make this such a special place to play all were factors.

I thought he threw really well early. He kind of lost it for a bit, but battled hard.

He pitched great. He had some big strikeouts when he needed them. His command was better today, he had better location. He was able to throw strikes with his curve and his change, whereas in the first game he pretty much relied on his fastball.
