POSTGAME QUOTES
Old Dominion Coach Tony Guzzo
"It seems like for the last two days we were not able to get that bigbounce or big hit that we needed to. Obviously, we got those throughout theseason, but usually they have a tendency to even out over the course of thelong-run."
"I was really proud of our guys. We were the ones who were behind most ofthe game today and came back at the end to tie it. I have to give credit toMiddle Tennessee (State). They did a good job. They made quality pitchesand got the timely hitting they needed."
"I told our guys before we came here that no matter what happened duringthis tournament, I was really proud of them because early in the season wedid not look like an NCAA regional team. They have far surpassed mygreatest expectations for them already."
Middle Tennessee Coach Steve Peterson
"I felt confident going in with Dewon Brazelton on the mound. Startingpitching always sets my tone as far as confidence. Brazelton pitched anoutstanding ball game. He was in position all the way to win the game andthen they made something happen and tied it up. I went to our bullpen,which is what has got us here in the regionals. My gut told me I needed toget Brad Howard in the ball game."
"It was very fitting that Josh Renick, who was the goat in the ninthinning, but kept us in the ballgame yesterday with some great defenseplays. He makes that play 99% of the time, but he fundamentally brokedown. He got the opportunity to be the hero. That is one thing aboutbaseball, you can answer it real quick."
