49 Quotes by Gary Powers

He did more than he needed to do. He did the job because nobody could do the job (on Saturday). Unfortunately, he just gave up that key walk in the ninth that ended up being the winning run.

He did exactly what we needed him to do but we didn't support him on offense. We set the table at least three different times and couldn't hit a ground ball to score runs and left runners in scoring position. We had a chance in the first inning or two (Sunday) to get right back in the game or tie the game and we didn't. The complexion of the game is different if it is tied.

He is so strong, and that was evident that last home run. He got jammed on the pitch and was strong enough to pull it out of the ballpark. That is good, hard work getting rewarded right there.

You have to finish the job. That is how you win. There is a real fine line between winning and losing and it is just about execution. Whether it is offensive execution or defensive execution or making a pitch in a key situation, that is the key to success. Young teams need to figure that out so they know what to put their focus on when the situation arises.

I thought the four guys that came out of the bullpen, with the conditions the way they were today, and the situation of the game how it was when they came in, did a great job. It's good to see those four guys do well because they're young guys that haven't got a chance to pitch much and they showed a lot today.

That's been happening on the other side of the fence. It's just nice to see us get that one opportunity to take advantage today.

We're both in the same boat. Both teams are trying to get ready for their conference seasons and both teams are very young. This gives us an opportunity to just play some games.

We have two factions on our team right now. We have guys who are trying to do too much because other guys aren't stepping up. And then we have another group of guys who are just out in left field somewhere and don't seem to get it.

We just didn't do our job on offense. We left too many guys on base and we didn't come through when we had scoring chances, and we got beat because of it.
