Mike Bianco Played Quotations

We competed hard today, but UCLA just played better than we did. We got their pitcher on the ropes early, but we didn't capitalize and let him get back on a roll after the first couple of innings. We never were able to take that momentum back.

It was a solid performance, similar to the way we played the first three games.

That really came at the right time for us. We just haven't played real good baseball, and it's tough with a young club when you have adversity early.

(In the first game) we played really well. It was a sound defensive game where we turned a couple of double plays, but I thought the story of the day was Craig Rodriguez. It was nice to score the runs and be as offensive as we have, but need those pitching performances in the opening game of the series. (Rodriguez) was really strong today.
