Chris Finwood Guys Quotations

I've got nothing but respect for (Vanderbilt), Coach (Tim) Corbin and his staff. That's an outstanding baseball club over there that we beat tonight. I thought our guys played very well, and having (senior pitcher) Bryan Rider back, obviously it was big to have a guy like that you can throw at the end of games.

We've got to play very well to beat anyone. We'll need some timely hitting, and we'll have a chance. This time of the year, no one is gonna throw a ton of pitches. All of the guys have to get it done.

I thought we pitched much better. Especially with our guys in the middle of the game. (Senior pitcher) J.C. Faircloth in particular, with six strikeouts in two innings ... We put up 14 hits, and with nine runs again, so our guys continue to do a good job offensively.

We had a couple of guys who weren't going to throw in that game. We started (freshman pitcher) Ben Paxton, a kid who has been a solid kid for us, and he just had a bad night. We got down early, and they can really pitch.
