“I think the biggest thing is you focus on playing the game and that is what I was reiterating to them yesterday. You focus on playing the game as hard as you can, you have no control over what the other team does, we only have control over what we are doing. I was happy to see some of our guys continue to have really good at bats. It has been a grind and we’re just happy to get to two games after eight days off and being able to compete again and then get ready for this weekend.” – Baylor Head Coach Steve Rodriguez
