We had timely hits. And we got off to a good start.

That was the run that counted the most.

We didn’t play well on the road early. To win our league, you have to win on the road. That really showed me a lot about our club. We fought hard and scored some runs.

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

All of our jackets for NASCAR, major league baseball, the NBA, are licensed. We even made a jacket for Muhammad Ali, a limited run, for $7,000 apiece. Ali signed them.

They’re just better than us.

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.

We just didn’t get after it tonight. I think we’re just a little out of gas right now, but we’ll get away from here and hopefully regroup Thursday and be ready Friday.

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...

We’re a different club with Brantley New on the mound, and we’ll be ready Friday at 6 with our season on the line.

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

Gardner-Webb has certainly owned us the last two years. We’re 0-6 the last two years against them, and they have flat-out beaten us. We’ve just got to take it to ’em.

They play well, they play hard, they don’t make mistakes. I don’t think they’re going to pitch as well as North Florida, but they’re very similar. They’re well-coached and they play hard.

He’s shown some signs of being that kind of guy. Usually he tries to go out there and do too much. Tonight, he had a little more poise. He had command of his pitches.

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...

It was big, especially after the weekend we had. We have a chance to go on the road (today) and we haven’t been too good on the road. We have four conference road series left,...

We started off slow offensively, but we made some adjustments. I’m really proud of the way we hit the ball. We didn’t panic. Once we got going, it was sort of contagious.

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

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...

I really wanted to see how our arms would match up against an ACC team in a series.

We done hung around and got a chance. I don’t know if nobody’s good or everybody’s good.

I knew it wasn’t you. You’re not that fast.

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,...

This is a great win for us.
