afraid couple early good insurance offense played runs scores
When your offense scores early, you don't have to be afraid to make one mistake. We got some early runs for Alex, a couple of insurance runs late, and played good defense.
bothering effort game needed proud thumb worse
We needed a big effort out of him today. His thumb was bothering him. It was getting worse as the game went on. I'm so proud of him, the way he competed.
best freshmen good veteran
We have a veteran lineup but we have a very good nucleus of young kids, freshmen who also can play. They're getting their opportunities and making the best of them.

We're still working that out. Josh McDonald has gotten better every single time out. He threw well this past weekend. He's one of our top four starters.

This was a good game. It had a lot of excitement. We kept trying to get back in. We just couldn't keep them from scoring. Tomorrow, hopefully, it'll be a better day.

We got up 7-0 and with Heath (Rollins) on the mound, you feel pretty comfortable. I'm pleased with the way we swung the bat. We had 10 different guys get hits.
home run tone
We set the tone early. Dempsey got the home run in the first inning and we scored another one after that.

We're excited about getting ready to play in the Big South. I think it's going to be another great run. We're ready, hopefully, to defend our title.
advantage against cheering doubt figure great improve people stands ways
We've always wanted to try to figure out ways to improve our attendance. There's no doubt it's a great advantage if you can have a lot of people in the stands cheering for you and cheering against your opponents.
certainly good played trying
We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.
alabama anybody ask expected game pleased schedule three won
You look at our schedule. We won two out of three at Miami. We won two out of three at Alabama and we've won every other game we've played. As a coach, you can't ask for anything more than that. When you look at our schedule ... if anybody thought or expected we'd be better than (11-2) right now, I'd thought they were crazy. If I'd expected that I'd been crazy. It would have been very unrealistic of us. So I'm very pleased with where we're at.
enjoyed last played time
We enjoyed it the last time we were down there. Historically, we've played pretty well at Coastal. But it's a new year.
