We've been swinging the bats well up and down the lineup. Everyone's been contributing. We're coming up with some big two-out hits, and it's someone new every ball game. And that's the way you generate some offense and score some runs.

We hit the ball hard but right at people. Other times, we?d get momentum and shoot ourselves in the foot.

Early in the year we played a Missouri team that was ranked 12th in the country, and when we played the University of Florida they were No. 1 in the country. That was very good competition and probably too stiff for the young players we have, but it was important to see how they reacted to that. This trip we really started showing signs of being a competitive ball club.

Any time you have your returning starters back, you like to think that is a positive. You like to be able to rely on their experience to help lead this ball club. All of our starting infielders were in double-digits in errors and I would like to think we are going to become much more stable defensively.
