Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On Sunday's game…
"As good as we played the first two games, we did a 180 degree difference today. It was a polar opposite. You tip your hat to this Aggie team today. They did a good job, and we didn't throw strikes today. I tried a lot of different guys but if you're not throwing strikes, you get behind and then serve up fastballs they're going to get hit. I told the hitters when we made the line change, let's see who gets in there and shows me a good at bat. Ty Peeples did that and got his first hit."
