COACH BRYANT'S THOUGHTS
"Game one was one of the best games we have played all season and we were strong in all three parts of our game; pitching, hitting and defense. In the second game, we never got going offensively and their pitcher threw a great game. We look forward to the opportunity to win the series tomorrow."
