Todd Abbott Guys Quotations

We started off slow and they started off a little bit faster than we did. We finally made some good adjustments at the plate. We got guys on and made things happen. We just have to do that sooner.

Our guys showed a lot today. We go down, give up a home run, don't score. We continued to battle and have good at-bats.

I was proud of our guys for picking up the slack on that play. That was a huge play that really could have been a momentum change.

We had two solid pitching performances, good defense, and timely hits with runners in scoring position. I was proud of our guys the first game, when we were down four and just chipped away and chipped away, took the lead and held on.

You get those two guys on and then you have some pretty good hitters coming up behind them who have a good chance of scoring some runs. Those two (Wallace and Barnes) combined have been a big part of our offense because of their ability to get on. Brandt has done great.

The tradition is strong here and it's been an excellent program the last several years because of the players. Those expectations are there. The expectations are high and these guys know that.
