Baseball is a game of streaks and today they did not go our way. Now, we have to try to go out and get a win tomorrow and try to string a few wins together.

Any win on the road is a big win. Today, we were able to do the things that we struggled with yesterday. We came up with some timely hits, played good defense and pitched well. I was really proud of the pitching performance with got from James (Stephens) and A.J. (Ford).

He's ( Scott Vaughan ) been known to do that over the years if they throw him a high fastball. He has the potential to hit it out and he did it tonight.

You never feel good after a loss. I feel bad for our guys who played their hearts out all weekend and have nothing to show for it. We shot ourselves in the foot too many times this weekend. They were able to capitalize and we were not able to come through in pressure situations.

We have had confidence in our pitching and defense all season and tonight it paid off. All four guys that pitched tonight threw well and hopefully it will carry over into this weekend.

The guys have been looking forward to conference play. Every weekend is going to be tough and this was no exception. James Stephens came in and threw strikes with all of his pitches and kept them off balance.
