Oregon Baseball Quotes vs. Santa Clara

Oregon Head Coach
George Horton
On leaving runners on third:
“We lost some of the momentum of the game. I give credit to them. They exposed our inexperience and made us pay for it.”
On the game:
“They got key outs and built up the momentum of the game. We sort of shot ourselves in the foot.”
“We got off the plan. They need to get a clear picture of the process of how to win and not be result oriented.”
“It was frustrating when they felt as though they couldn't come from behind.”
On inexperience:
“We have a lot of young guys trying too hard to do something special instead of what we need to do. We are trying to make things happen instead of letting them happen. Our team just needs to learn to settle down.”
“I wish I could bottle some experience for them, but they have to go through the process and learn for themselves.
On fans:
“We have to earn the respect of the fans that we can come from behind. We first need to believe it in the dugout.”
#38 Caleb Tommasini
On the loss:
“Today we just had a different approach. I think it was a mental thing. We were
trying too hard in several situations and it didn't work out for us. I had a
stop sign, but when the ball is left ? it is my call. We need to believe our
hands and give ourselves a chance. It's a new game tomorrow.”
