I guess I can utilize that side of the field more. I feel like I'm hitting the ball hard every time. That's key in putting pressure on the defense.

It's the biggest series I've ever played in college.

I guess we're used to winning, this club. Hopefully, we can continue our success, and reach No. 1 instead of No. 20. The sky's the limit.

We developed more when we played in different leagues during the summer. We know Bubba is the big shooter, someone we need to get the ball to. Brad can score about anytime he wants. I can create shots. We all know our roles.

We've got a brand new team, with a whole bunch of new guys. Everybody on this team wants to win, and is trying to win.

They have two big velocity guys. They try to get into a rhythm, and they threw a lot of strikes last year.

Winning the series would be a huge boost and show we can go to (NCAA) Regional and the College World Series.

I made a few adjustments in batting practice. The coaches said I wasn't staying balanced on my back leg.

People still underestimate us. They still think we're the same Kentucky, but we can prove ourselves. If we can pull this, we'll prove to everybody that we're for real.

(Opposing teams) still think we're the underdogs. That's a good thing, though. If we beat South Carolina, which we're going to, that would be huge for us.
