15 Quotes by Derek Dougan

Chris has stepped up and has had some well pitched games. Our other pitchers have pitched well. Plus, playing on our home field will hopefully be an advantage.

I don't think we hit the ball as well as we're capable of, but tonight we scored runs when we needed to and got the job done.

He wasn't overpowering tonight. He just made the big pitch when he needed it.

Really, to start the game, I just planned on him pitching three innings. But I thought we'd see how far he could get.

I think he ended up with about 75 pitches on the evening. He didn't say anything and I didn't say anything to him. I just let him keep going. He did a good job.

That's the most we scored in a conference game. We're hitting well and playing good defense. It's good to win the conference outright.

You'd like to have some more offensive production but we hit a little more than we've hit the past week or so. We've seen some good competition and hopefully those bats will start coming around a little more for us.

We kind of got one hit at a time and started getting a rally going. I was really glad with the way we battled back tonight.

You hope it is a wake-up call. Sometimes we follow a bad game with a good game. Hopefully we will have a good couple of practices.
