"I couldn't have handled another one of those today." said head coach Todd Interdonato. "Everybody here knows what's going on. We were just hoping to get the leadoff guy out in the ninth to settle Adam down. Those guys fight, scratch, and claw. Thankfully we were able to make one more pitch this afternoon than we did this morning. We'll celebrate this one until we get on the bus and then we'll start worrying about Samford again."
