Coach (Derek) Waugh reminded us we were seniors and we needed to step up these last few games. We both came out with that mentality, to just relax and lead.

It's incredible. For him to come from two years of being a role player and to step in and be one of our key players, he's been a big spark.

That's why it's been really important that we defend well. We weren't hitting from the outside. But because we were playing well on the other end, we stayed in the game.

With this, it will give them an avenue to provide information to us that would protect them if they want anonymity.

Some games, I want to have the game in my hand, but I know we have a lot of great pitchers and their concentration is just pitching. Right now, mine is third base and hitting the ball.

Everyone said he shied away from big games.
