On the series
"It's tough on the road and everybody knows that. Today was the game when you look back and say we played good baseball. We needed to get more hits, we had some chances. We pitched well. We played pretty good defense. We have to iron some things up at the plate. We'll get back to work. We showed fight. We took some punches, and we lost today. It's not easy. We'll get back on the horse and get ready for Presbyterian on Tuesday."
