We had our backs up against the wall today and we had our backs up against the wall in the conference. We needed to do it and (the players) knew it and they came out and got it done.
That helps you want it more. Some of these guys were with us late in the season and they got an idea of what it was like, so that should help.
We'll get better, not only defensively, but in all phases of the game.
Bill Edwards practices here because he's a professional.
He came to compete today. We had our backs up against the wall in the conference. We needed this and they knew it. They came out and got it today.
We're a team. We learn from each other.
We talked to (Flanagan) a number of times. But you know what, there comes a time when an arm is more important than a game. That's why I lifted him.
Learn to pick the right words. These meetings are over at 8 o'clock.
We needed that. We got a good performance out of John (Flanagan) on both accounts and our hitters just did a great job today. We had good at bats and we're capable of doing that. Today was a good day to break out.
We're primarily a junior-oriented team, but we feel we can compete at the varsity level.
