Chris didn't locate it in far enough. He left it over the middle and you saw the results.

I probably should have made more of a major deal about Saturday's second game. We've been doing a great job of staying in games.

Instead of settling down, he gives up two hits and the lead. It's a lack of focus that really bugs me.

I'm excited how Mike pitched above 80 pitches. We're excited to see him give us five or six innings on Saturday.

As a coach we always say no, but everybody knows it is. Everyone will come out the students, the fans. Even last week against Southern we had a good crowd.

The neat part is that we're swinging early in the count. When you get two strikes, it's hard to get base hits.

The neat thing for this game is we didn't get all excited that we were beating Illinois. We play the same way no matter if it's Illinois or Illinois State or anyone else.

It was a major failure on everybody's part.

It's not something that will correct itself in a day.

It seems that every time we bring in a pitcher, they walk the first batter.
