SKINNY: Miller probably stays at leadoff against UNC this weekend. Freeman probably moves up from No. 9 spot. Tigers rotation in Chapel Hill:
Friday: Delk; Saturday: Stoneburner; Sunday: Dwyer

Winning pitcher -- Surratt

PARKER QUOTES:
"It (loss to Furman) was kind of a wakeup call to us. With the momentum shift (against UNCA), this weekend we should play pretty well."

LEGGETT QUOTES:
"We needed that (17 runs, 15 hits). We needed to see some line drives, some aggressiveness at the plate."

Lineup changes: "Mike Freeman swung the bad pretty good again tonight. We might move him up again. We're just looking for the right combination."

Miller at leadoff: Miller (1-2, 3 runs, three walks against UNCA) just has some aggressiveness in him. And he just has a good eye at the plate, so we may leave him there for a while and see how it works."

Miller dropped popup at SS: "Tough sky. That one that dropped in there was about dusk. When it went up, I knew it was going to be a problem. You don't play many night games, you get that tough sky, it's tough out there."

Importance of coming back after loss to Furman: "We couldn't have backed up last night with another last night. We had to break the chain a little bit."

Well, I asked for offense and we got some. I do hope that this same type deal continues for us this weekend. I am afraid we will need this type production to stay in the series with UNC. If we can take 2 out of 3 this weekend will be HUGE. Am thinking 1 of 3 is most likely and even 0 for.....UNC has a great pitching staff and if the bats are not hot like tonight...the lights will go out in a hurry.
