Yesterday, Virginia was stifled by the Seminoles pitching staff and could not take advantage when they had guys on base. Head coach Chris Pollard was disappointed with the loss, but hopeful his team would bounce back: <\/p>\n
\u201cOver two ball games, we have shown that if we force them to have to string hits together to score, they have a hard time doing that against our arms. The difference today was that we gave them free offense. We gave them five outs in an inning; we gave them four outs in another inning; we gave them some free passes, and that allowed them to string together offense. We have to do a great job of going out there and attacking the zone to force them to have to string hits together; we\u2019d be in a good spot. On the other side, we just saw two really good arms that competed at a really high level. I thought Beard executed the changeup really well and John Abraham is one of the best relievers in our league. He got the breaking ball going and it gave us fits.\u201d<\/p>\n
