I can't imagine anybody else in our league that had a win and two saves and pitched in all three conference games while playing shortstop the other bit of the time. He continues to take the ball whenever we ask him to take it, regardless of how early, how long or how late he's played the field.

His velocity is picking up every week. He's got enough on it that he keeps them honest.

Our pitchers did an excellent job. I am very pleased. We made several adjustments in trying to pitch to their outstanding hitters. We did a good job of that.

We started off kind of sloppy with some fundamental errors. But I was obviously very pleased with the pitching and, defensively, we played good ground-ball defense. And the outfield stepped up and made a couple of big catches.

He is a strike-thrower. In (the CPL), if you throw enough strikes and let the wooden bat take care of itself, you will be OK. He keeps the ball down and is a very good fielder.

For the way we played, we got exactly what we deserved. We didn't play sound, fundamental baseball. That's the first time in a while we've given up a big inning, and we had our chances to minimize the damage.

Yeah, it was pretty exceptional. Since the NCAA era, to my knowledge, there's nothing that approaches that.

He threw the ball down really good in the sixth and seventh innings. Those were his best innings. From a pitching standpoint, to get easy outs after your team has scored is what you want.

In his last inning out when he was really in the high numbers, we couldn't afford to go to the bullpen that early. It was critical for him to give us that inning.
