“I think some of our players have the jitters out in the field. It's the first year of varsity for several of them and some of our veterans are showing a little rust coming out of basketball. We were lucky that the seven errors didn't really hurt us that much. Normally, when you have that many mistakes you're going to lose the game.”
Chad Spalding
“I think we had some first inning jitters. You can't make a mistake or two against good teams like this or it's going to burn you.”
Pete Hoffman
“I think I kind of came out flat. It could have just been first-round jitters or whatever.”
Cole Konrad
“I had a rough first inning. I don't think it was jitters. I was just trying to be too fine, but then I started settling down.”
Clay Hensley
“I don't think it was necessarily jitters, ... I was just trying to be too fine in the first inning instead of going after the hitters. After I realized that, that's when things started settling down.”
“I think it helps that I have been there. I won't have the jitters I had last year.”
Jesse Williams
“You can't ignore the 800-pound gorilla: There's no shortage of post-9/11 jitters. I don't think anybody likes sitting down next to a stranger for five hours.”
Wes Craven
