Missouri Quotes

Head Coach - Tim Jamieson
"I thought we played a pretty solid baseball game. From an offensive standpoint, we had good swings early and good swings late. Nathan Culp pitched himself out of some dangerous innings and that is what winners are capable of doing. It was a good team effort and we had a lot of guys contribute during the course of the game. Hopefully this is something that we can continue to do."

Player Quotes - Junior Pitcher Nathan Culp
"I was able to make a few pitches and minimize the damage. When you have bases loaded and nobody out, you know they're going to score. Luckily I was able to get out of the inning with only one run scored."

Player Quotes - Senior Outfielder Zane Taylor
"We definitely have to take the next game just as seriously as OSU. They're a good ball club and we have Max (Scherzer) going on the mound so everyone will be behind him. We have to take it one game at a time obviously, but we have to win every game from here on out and that's how it's been for the last two weeks. We have to keep that attitude and keep that edge."

Player Quotes - Sophomore Designated Hitter Jacob Priday
"I think we were hitting the ball really well today. Gary (Arndt) got a big hit to the right center in the ninth and that was what everyone was doing all day."

OKLAHOMA STATE QUOTES

Head Coach - Frank Anderson
"This game wasn't unlike our last 25. We were able to stay even, but we didn't get scores in the end. If you walk out with a certain personality when you win, you better walk out with the same one when you lose. With having this game and then a day off it's easier to get this one behind us. Our bullpen hadn't been stellar, but we knew he (Odol) would be able to continue to throw strikes and compete so we decided to stick with him. "

Player Quotes - Junior Outfielder Ty Wright
"I think we'll come out ready to play in the next game. It was just one game and it's just like any other game we've had in the last four or five weeks. Like coach said, usually we take control at the end of the game and put runs up, but credit Missouri because they took control at the end of this game. We'll be ready to play in the next game."
