Coach Long's Thoughts:

"I'm very optimistic we are going to get the bats going.  We faced some very good pitching this weekend.  As we get outside more often and face opposing pitching, the hits will come.."
 " I think our pitchers pitched extremely well.  Its very tough to play flawless defense in February, especially seeing the field for the first time. "
