Two games in a row, he's played really strong. That's important.

JT Sorensen did a really good job. He's so tough. He goes hard. There were times when we needed someone like that. He started the game like that. He scored inside. He goes to the basket hard and does the extra things.

Newport is sitting in that third spot. They were right behind us. That's a very positive thing to beat them, especially by 23. Last time we played them at their place we won by 20. We have had two pretty good wins against them. It's good to make that separation, so I feel really good about that.

It's tough on the old coach. I have never seen anything like all these 1-0 games. He refuses to let them score. He gives us a chance every start. He doesn't let anything bother him, and he just pitches.

He knows there?s a place for him to close some games out. We look to him for a lot of confidence.

You're not going to win a lot of ball games with only two hits.
