The Citadel Bulldogs

Head Coach Fred Jordan

On the game... "When Ferrer settled in during the third, we knew it was going to be tough.  He's a quality guy when he's in the strike zone.  I thought our missed chances were going to haunt us until we got the two big swings in the ninth."

On earning the day off... "It's very important.  We'll get our work in early in the day and get some rest, because you never know what's going to happen.  Everybody says you win the first two and you're going to the finals, and that's definitely not the case.  We'll rest as much as we can tomorrow and keep them out of the sun."

Senior Second Baseman Bryan Altman

On the game... "We knew it was a big game.  We were trying to get to 40 wins, and Elon is a good opponent, and we knew that going in.  We knew it was going to be intense, and we were prepared for it."

On the day off... "It's an off day from playing a game, but we're still going to work.  You can't just sit on it and not do anything and go into Saturday feeling comfortable.  We're definitely going to keep working.   It means a lot, especially for pitching.  We earned it, and I'm happy with it."

On the feeling in the locker room after a win... "It's a great feeling.  Winning's always fun, especially an emotional game like that.  It was definitely intense, and definitely worth it.  It was a lot of fun."

Head Coach Mike Kennedy

On his team's comeback... "We bounced back and tied it up after falling behind in the ninth.  I deal with 18-22 year old kids, and they don't' worry about stuff that we worry about.  They rally behind things like that...it gives them a little more energy.  We got fired up a little bit and had a big hit there, and tied the game up."
