Pete Hughes, Head Coach

Opening statement…

“Going into the game, we wanted to limit what they do offensively very well. We didn't do a good job of that. Their offense is predicated off the walk, and we walked 10 guys tonight. Too many guys, the leadoff guy of the inning, but that's what gets their offense going. They got some big hits. We had our opportunities. I liked the way our guys fought back in a 5-0 game. We had plenty of chances to get back in it. Texas played well.”

On the team's recent approach at the plate…

“I can just speak towards tonight. We ran into a good left-handed pitcher, who is really committed to two pitches and showed a third and did a great job. He no-hit us for four innings. I thought we were patient. I thought we didn't panic. I thought we created some offense for ourselves. I like our team offensively. It's the same team a week ago that 35 hits and 20 of them were extra base hits off an outstanding TCU pitching staff. That's baseball. I never panic with these guys. They're talented and their preparation is spot on all the time and consistent. When you have those two things you don't panic. We'll be fine. We'll get our hits tomorrow.”

Steele Walker, So., OF

On trailing early the last three games…

“I think as a team we do really well bouncing back and putting some innings together and getting some runs on the board. It's a testament to how close we are as a team. I don't think we let it effect us. I don't think it effects our mindset at all. We're still trying to come in and attack regardless.”

On bouncing back on a short turnaround…

“We're going to come in and attack TCU. It's still a baseball game. As far as I see it it's another team. I don't care what time we play. We're going to go out there an attack them.”
