I hadn't missed too many games. Taking the day off was a good idea. I just wanted to come out and have fun.

Anytime you play somebody from the SEC it's going to be a good fight.

It's not the first time we've been swept since I've been here. Hopefully we can get the bats rolling next weekend, and get hot going into the tournament time.

It's tough. The bottom line is we fought hard. We're on a slide right now and we'll bounce back.

It was a lot of fun. I've never been a part of something like this and in such a big game. It's just what Florida State baseball is about.

It wasn't like it was unexpected. Luckily, I got a chance to get back in there. It's just attacking the pitches and getting myself in good counts.

There's not much Shane and I can do but show the way. The younger guys have really done a good job.

Every day, set the tone, whether it's in practice or in a game.

This was such a big game. This is what Florida State baseball is all about. It was so much fun. What else can I say?

We will keep everything the same but the intensity will step up a little bit. We have done a good job focusing on our competition and scoring runs. With Maryland and the rest of the ACC competition the rest of the way out, we will have to step up a little bit.
