Quotes by Charlie Hickey
It?s a day you have to file away and move on. Getting a ?W? and getting out of it was important for us.
Sometimes we need a fly ball into the wind to give us a break. We were fortunate to win that game.
We have to limit those bad innings from six runs down to, say, two. It?s not every day that we?re going to put 13 runs on the board, and those bad innings will come back and hurt us if we don?t identify those mistakes better.
We have clearly not made things easy on ourselves during the conference season. To get back on track and doing the difficult things needed to win two out of three in a weekend series ... in the long run, you sort of say now next weekend becomes important again.
I think anyone who sat through this game for three-and-a-half hours figured it would end in that kind of way. To Matt?s credit, he hit the ball hard. I would have preferred it on the ground, but if you keep it down things like that happen sometimes.
He?s been a quality kid and obviously he gets the chance to come home, which I think helped him a little bit and was probably fun for him. We had him in a spot where we were down 2-1 and we hit a fly ball that was a poor approach on our part, instead of hitting the ball up the middle or the other way like we preach.
Today is a little bit of middle of the week college baseball. When it?s 14-11, it comes down to which line drive gets hit to which player. Obviously we?re disappointed to come out on the short end of it today, but we had spots where we were two outs away from getting a victory.
We took advantage of some extra opportunities we were fortunate to get. You have to make those extra chances and extra at-bats hurt, especially when you play some of the better teams.
When you?re up 9-0 it?s supposed to be easy. But things are rarely easy in college baseball, and from that standpoint I was pleased with the way we came back.
