We got some clutch hitting in this one. It was good to see us put the ball in play and make things happen with two outs. We've been striking out some early on and now we're getting the ball in play and putting pressure on the defense.
We hit it well today. It was a hitters park today with the hard ground and the wind blowing out, but we put some good swings on the ball today.
We kind of broke it open in the top of the seventh with some more key hits. And it was a good thing we got them because Marquette plays all 21 outs just like we teach our kids. They didn't quit and believed they could win the game in the seventh.
Today we were pretty fortunate. There were some circumstances that, if they went against us, it could be a different story.
He just put the ball in play. He didn't try to do too much with it, just put in play and he found a hole for it.
He's tough. He's the real deal there. When you have three pitches you can throw for strikes, it's tough to hit.
Overall it was good to get outside the last two days, even though it was cold. To get out here and work out a lot of the kinks before we kick off the conference season on Tuesday, I think it will make a big difference.
This was a good bounce back game for us. We got up early and had good at-bats throughout the game. The guys showed a lot of maturity against a Highland team that is always good fundamentally.
Those two guys both threw the ball really well.
He did a nice job. We pitched well, gave up some hits, but the wind was blowing out and it was a hard infield so it was fast, I thought we did well on the mound against a good hitting team.
