On today's win…
It was a good team win. We had several guys that were able to contribute on the mound and helped us get out of some jams. Six different players had hits in the lineup. It was a good start to the final week before conference starts. We have a big weekend series against Odessa College this Friday and Saturday.

On today's win...
I felt good at the plate and felt like I was able to see the ball well and react. I think it was a good team win. We were able to execute the little things that it takes to win games, manufacturing runs today was a big reason why we were able to come up with a win on the road against a good team.
