Through our first seven batters and their first seven batters, the score was the same (0-0), but they (the Lions) were winning the game because they were having better at-bats. After that, I challenged our guys by telling them they had to make better swings on the ball. They made the necessary adjustments, and I'm proud of them for that.

The only run we gave up today came on a hit-and-run. I thought we got out of position too early. We should have made that play. We could have had a shutout today, and that would have given us three for the weekend.

Unless you're up there swinging the bat, it's difficult to tell exactly how tough a guy is, but he must've been really tough. He made a lot of good pitches today, and we didn't put a lot of good swings on the ball.

He's a legitimate Friday night guy. We will have to play well to beat him. They have had a full year to recruit since they announced they were reviving the program, so they're already pretty well stocked with players.
