TEXAS QUOTES

Head Coach - Augie Garrido
"The game tonight was obviously an offensive game by both teams. I thought we were very responsive and very competitive from the offensive side. It is something we do better this year than we have done in the past. The game was going to be an offensive game by the way it was going and the kind of night we had and by the way the pitching was going. I am really pleased by the way we responded."

Player Quotes - Drew Stubbs, CF, Jr.
On Baylor's Ryan LaMotta...

"This is probably the fourth or fifth time we've seen him and he's a great pitcher, but at the same time when you see a guy that many times you learn his tendencies and know his pitching. We were on top of our game tonight and when you're like that it's hard to stop."

On playing Nebraska...

"Anytime you can even the score with a team you want to do that. We're not going to approach it any differently than the last two games, it's just another team in our league so we're going to come out and just play our game."

Player Quotes - Carson Kainer, LF, Jr.
"I think we need to make a strong statement Saturday and play the kind of game we've played these last two games to ensure that we'll be in it. We don't want to give anyone a chance to drop us out of the eight-seed."

BAYLOR QUOTES

Head Coach - Steve Smith
"They swung the bats really well and we didn't make the pitches. It got out of hand in the fourth inning. I thought offensively we were doing fine, but they answered our four with seven and that was pretty much the ball game. I think Stubbs has really developed and there's no one as athletic as him in the league. He's a great kid and a great athlete who has become a very good baseball player. We go into our next game to win it. Play to win the game and that's not any different than today our yesterday."

Player Quotes - Seth Fortenberry, OF, Sr.
On Baylor's next game...

"I come out just like any other game. We still have something to play for. I'm going to get after it just like the past couple of games. We swung the bat well today and took advantage of some key pitches. We had one rough inning and they followed it with the seven-run inning."

Player Quotes - Ryan LaMotta, P, Sr.
"I wasn't very good today. I'd make one good pitch and follow it up with two or three bad ones. I'd make a mistake and they'd hit it hard. I just opened up the floodgates, and once you get a team hot like that, they're not going to stop swinging."
