"When you get 13 hits you ought to win a ball game," Knight coach Bill Sexton said. "We keep finding ways to lose them. We made some crucial errors tonight, we made an error in the seventh inning to allow them to beat us, we can't be doing that stuff. For three innings I'm not sure what we were doing, it was very frustrating the first three innings all the way around. At some point we have to play like we're capable of playing or we'll a dig hole too big to get out of."

Sexton did feel that Patel did a good job pinch hitting in the sixth.

"I was very pleased with Devin Patel," he said. "Devin had a rough night Monday, we brought him in a bases loaded situation with two outs to pinch hit and he came through with a ringing double to left-center field. It was a real big hit at that point in the game and got us back in the game."
