00:00 >> How did you feel when Eric Caden and
00:03 Takas threw your ninth inning today?
00:05 >> I was kind of just sitting down, wanting the ball for sure.
00:09 But kind of just blessed that Lowe's wanted to give me the opportunity to go and
00:12 do that.
00:12 And kind of got up in a hurry and noticed that things kind of got away.
00:17 I mean, Coyier had two really good innings before that.
00:19 I knew it was only time before somebody was gonna get the chance to go and
00:21 close that thing down.
00:22 And I mean, for me, I've just been really trying to be consistent in all aspects
00:27 of baseball, just trying to focus on what only I can control.
00:31 Don't worry about anything else, just do my job.
00:33 And luckily today, the balls they hit weren't hit too hard and
00:36 the guy didn't wanna swing at that curve ball there at the end.
00:38 So I was just excited to get a win with this team.
00:42 I mean, so much hard work on this team.
00:45 The guys, they won it really, really bad.
00:48 And we've just been kind of going through a rough patch, but
00:50 I think that we've stuck together and we know how good we are.
00:54 So it's just taking it day by day, and this weekend was really good for us.
00:58 >> Did the performances from Coyier and
01:00 Hampton instill any confidence in you going into that ninth inning?
01:04 >> For sure, I mean, I have all the confidence and all the confidence in our staff.
01:08 I know how good we are.
01:09 I know how hard it is to get innings in general just because we're so deep and
01:13 we're so good and we can come at you from a bunch of different areas.
01:16 So them going out there and just pitching really well,
01:19 regardless if they hadn't anyway.
01:21 I think that just knowing myself, I'm gonna go out there and
01:24 just do the best I can no matter what.
01:26 And luckily was able just to come in in a tough position and get out of it, so.
01:31 >> It's been quite the journey for you here, the last few seasons.
01:34 What did it mean to you to have Loves give you that call today?
01:37 >> More than anything, I mean, I wanted to be with the team last year a lot and
01:43 had to miss time and it sucked.
01:46 And I think that being a DCU fan my whole life as well.
01:49 Today was what I've been dreaming of and
01:52 it just felt good to be the guy you wanted to get the ball to.
01:56 And to go out there and succeed, a lot of emotion there, so.
