They didn't really threaten a whole lot, to be honest with you. We just pitched well.

This is a great win for us.

That was the run that counted the most.

This is without a doubt the biggest win we have had since I've been at Mercer. Our pitchers were as sharp as they possibly could be and really set the tone. We took advantage of the chances we had at the plate and played outstanding defense.

Blake Quarles went out and gave us a chance early. I think our guys fed off that.

But he was just cruising, man. He was on cruise control.

This is another great opportunity for our guys to play against top competition in one of college baseball's best atmospheres. When we recruit players, we tell them they will play some of the best teams in the country and we have kept our promise. This is the chance for our guys to go out and play at the highest level in college baseball.

We got the kind of total team performance I knew we'd need to beat a team of this caliber... To come out and get a win in one the best environments in college baseball, that says a lot about our team right now. We need to work hard to finish a series if we want to get to the next level. But I'll go home happy this weekend.

When we scheduled them, they weren't number one, but we expected a challenge. The rankings are based a lot on tradition, but it can change. I by no means think we have the most talented team in the country, but we played hard.
tradition challenge change team hard country
We really battled today on the mound and at the plate. We were able to capitalize on some opportunities, especially in the big inning, and that carried us to the win.
today opportunities win big
