They're rebuilding, and I know how that feels. It's not an easy situation that he (NSU coach Chip Durham) is in, and we're hoping and pulling for him. Tonight, Buddy just didn't give them any life.

We played the short game some with the wind blowing in.

We're happy with where we are, especially where we're coming from. The only negative is we're throwing only about five deep, and someone else among the pitchers has to step up.

The ironic thing is that we weren't sure about our starting pitching when we started the season. Now, those guys are all getting aggressive in trying to throw complete games.

We've got to do better than that one inning. We've got to get an out when they give us one with the bunt. But we righted the ship, (Danny) Farquhar came in and got a couple of big outs and Chad (Beck) did what he's supposed to do in the ninth.

I asked him if he wanted to pitch against them every time. We knew that he had that in him, it was just a matter of putting it together.

We're going to play a lot of very good baseball teams in league play. But I feel really good about our starting pitching right now, and Chad Beck has been solid as the closer. We're not where we need to be hitting the ball right now, but that will come. I think we'll be a good hitting team before it's over.
