Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On Saturday's series-clinching win…
"Flyballs were flying out here today, and I told our pitchers not to give in, to keep attacking the strike zone. I told the team after we dropped the opener Thursday that we can still win the series. Daniel (Jackson) got it started for us today, his home run would've been out of any park on any day. We had some no-doubters today by several guys. I liked our ability to stay with our approach and be able to work the count in our favor. When we got down 6-1, I told our guys, relax, we're going to be okay. We're going to hit today, and we hung in there and persevered."
