Ben had some real good at-bats today. He used the whole field, going opposite field for a couple of his hits.

I had a couple of good at-bats. But tonight it felt good, felt comfortable at the plate.

The kids hit the ball well today - in fact, if anything we might have been a little too aggressive at the plate. Jared and Ethan both had very good at-bats.

There've been a couple of times, I've gone in the closet and had a good hard cry, ... There's been so much going on in our lives and in our country, seeing people struggle. I'm sure most of us have had moments of private wailing. It's a hard time. But at the same time, in my own life, I feel overwhelmed with goodness.

We play up tempo. The only drawback to it was that we didn't do a very good job of looking into the post. We settled too much off the dribble tonight.

Our success this year will depend on how well our pitching comes around. Brian had good success as a freshman, so we expect that to continue and improve. I've seen some real good things from Ryan and Rhett as well.
