"You come out here flat and not aggressive and looking like you've got other things on your mind, it's all attitude," Walsh said. "It's coming from the inside. And that's something I take full responsibility for."

Senior right fielder Scott Carmack, sidelined for the second straight game with a fractured hand, was more upset by the way his collegiate career ended than anything.

"This is a team that should still be playing," Carmack said. "I hadn't even thought of the season ending until now."

Notes

With the defeat, the Crimson finishes the season with one more loss than last year's 18-25 squad... Hordon pinch hit for the second straight game. The freshman had started the year as a two-way player and led the team in strikeouts early in the year before arm problems sidelined him for most of the Crimson's stretch run... Hopps had a tough final game, striking out twice and letting several pitches get past behind behind the plate. In the middle of his last plate appearance, his bat sailed out of his grip and sailed back into the hands, nearly hitting the father of regular catcher Brian Lentz.
