It was good to see. I don't think we've come back from a deficit all year, not even a one-run one.

We're going to see a guy with World Series experience and a lot of success from last year. We're really looking forward to that game and it'll be an early measuring stick to see where we are.

I'm real happy with how the guys battled back in both games. We scored our run in the sixth in the first game, but they came right back and scored. We had the right guys up in the eighth and got one around. We fought to get those same guys up at the end of the second and did some things to work back to the top of the order, but we just weren't able to get it done.

I think if we come out and play well tomorrow, we should be able to pick up a pair of wins.
tomorrow play
It really did, and that's the thing I'm so disappointed about. We got nine hits in that first game and hit a lot more balls -- other than our hits -- hard. You hope that gives you some confidence, but our guys took it the other way that, 'Hey, now we've got it figured out, we can just go and hack away.' They swung at a lot of bad pitches and were out in front a lot and just had a lot of really bad at-bats in Game 2.
game confidence bad hard guys hope thing
The wind was blowing out to right, but we still did a good job hitting, especially in the first. You want the guys to get some confidence and we stayed with it in both games, even when the first game went out of control.

good
Troy picked us up so many times in two years and we picked him up on a bad day. It was just good he didn't have to pick up a loss. He had a bad day, but he's not worried. I'm not worried. It's bound to happen.
good loss bad day times bound troy
That's the thing. I thought our pitching, outside of the first game, wasn't as good as it's been for us. I told the guys after the game, 'Don't start believing the stats you have. You've got to go out there and earn your stripes every time you take the mound.' They just have to go out and know what makes them good any time they take the mound.
time game thought good start believing guys thing
They're great college baseball games. Awesome games. Their coaching staff and our coaching staff knew that they were going to be exactly like that, and probably two more tomorrow.
college games awesome baseball tomorrow coaching great
He wasn't getting pitches that I think he thought were strikes, and sometimes he'll let that get to him, and tonight he didn't. I was real impressed with how he kept his composure and made just absolutely great pitches when he had to... He went out there and just battled his behind off and did a great job.
real thought job great made
