Deron Clark Quotations

I was glad we were able to get Tyler his first conference action. I know it wasn't under a lot of pressure, but he came in and did what he was supposed to do. We had Cory (Farrell) ready to go in the bullpen.

Anytime you can take two on the road, it helps. It's big for us, and we need to string them (wins) together.

We're playing the way we're supposed to play and aren't doing anything crazy. Our pitchers are throwing strikes, our defense has only one error in the last four games and we're hitting the baseball, and I knew we had the talent to do it.

They did a great job, and they have allowed only four runs in the last two weeks.

These were two pretty big wins, because we go on the road for six and needed to do so with some confidence. I thought the guys responded well today, and we did a good job on the mound. It was one of those days where the hitters have the upper hand due to the way the wind was blowing, but we're all excited about the prospects of where we stand now.

There was not a lot of fire in our team, and the results were indicative of that. I know we had a lot of guys out there who hadn't played in a while, so you can't expect immediate success. I'm not blaming them necessarily, but as a group, we didn't get at it today.

It's not a mystery, and there's no special formula to what we're doing. It's what every team strives to do, but our guys happen to be executing it well right now.

Adam pitched well and gave us another quality start. It's nice to know we've got guys like him who are able to go deep into games. We did the little things again today, such as hitting the ball on two-strike counts, throwing strikes and playing defense.

We got the timely hitting we needed today. Brice and Matt (Combs) got some key hits for us, but we are still going to focus on our offensive a bit more heading into tournament time.

Our pitching continues to get better after hitting a lull where we were giving up a bunch of runs. Casey Smith does a good job every time out, and we've added some depth to our bullpen.
