Our kids played a whale of a game against the No. 6 team in the nation, and I told them that. But to close out a team like that you've got to finish every play, and we didn't finish on that rebound. It came too far out and to their advantage. It's the bounce of the ball sometimes.
Overall, I was very pleased with the way we played today. The guys could have easily packed it in being down early, but they really stepped up and showed a lot of character. Hopefully, we can build on this for the upcoming series.
We played better today, even though the score does not indicate it. Jared (Jennings) really came in and kept us in the game. Right now, we have to find a way to get our pitching staff some confidence.
We played great defense. We held Gonzaga to 64 points. That's unheard of.
They're a better team than they were when we played them up there. They've been on a roll.
