Quote
- “First of all, I would like to fully congratulate Carolina on their regular season win. They have had a great year. I told Scott before the game that they are the most complete club we have played all year. I said I feel like we've played a lot of games.''It was a really good club. It was a back-and-forth game all day today. I think they made some mistakes last night that inspired us, and today we made some mistakes that inspired them. We gave them a bunch of hits, but outside of the solo home run, we did a good job of holding down a really good offense in the two innings that they scored, the fifth and ninth innings, which helped them. ” – Head Coach Chris Pollard Regarding today's game against North Carolina.
