QUOTE OF THE GAME
"You know, we have been talking about Nick [Loftin pitching] for a while. I think the biggest thing was finding an opportunity for him to pitch. It's not ideal for his first time out to be in the middle of a baseball game. We were hoping to be able to do it during practice or something like that, but with practices being so limited right now, it's just really important for us to maximize opportunities. With some of our injuries and some of the issues we are having we just have to maximize our kids' talents. I know he pitched a lot in high school. He's a tremendous athlete, great player, and as you can see, he throws strikes. We are trying to figure out exactly what he is, first, in regards to being a pitcher for us, but after that we will be able to kind of see where he fits in that rotation." ÃƒÆ'Ã†'Ãƒ € 'ÃƒÆ'Ã¢ ‚¬ ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Ã†'Ãƒ € ' ¢' ¬" Baylor Head Coach Steve Rodriguez
