The Horned Frogs are 2-3 in those games.Quotables(F)rom a game standpoint, it felt like a championship-style game in every way. I think once we got through the third or fourth, you felt like one run could po sibly make the difference. And that's the way it shaped up. (TCU coach) Jim (Schlo snagle)'s team is good, very good, in a lot of different ways. I thought Young was obviously very, very effective. And I credit him, because once he found that we were going to make moves to pitches below the strike zone he kept forcing that. And he pitched very, very well. One ball made the difference. And that's the one Zander hit out. Vanderbilt coach Tim CorbinI mean, he just did a great job against us. He was locating the fastball in and out. He was able to backdoor the slider and put like Coach said he would throw them low and we were going after them today. So he was just really able to keep us off balance and in that at-bat, I was just he threw me a changeup and it had been higher than the rest of the ones he had thrown. It still wasn't a terrible pitch. But it was hittable. Wiel on YoungI think they'll handle it the way they've handled everything else all year long. The way we handled losing a game in the regional, the way we handled losing a game in the Super Regional. They'll be ready to play. That doesn't guarantee succe s at all. But we certainly we feel confident in our pitching staff, that can give us a good chance. We know that LSU has a great team. And obviously Vanderbilt is sitting there after that, if we're fortunate enough to advance. But in 25 years I've never trusted a team more than this team. They're unbelievable human beings, and I believe in Las Vegas Raiders Pet Gear them, and I still believe we're going to be hanging around here before this thing is said and done. Schlo snagle on how his team will react to the lo sObviously the story of the game was this young, right-handed pitcher on our team who has been just absolutely terrific all year. He just put the team on his shoulders after a rough first inning. Listen, I thought he made good pitches in the first inning and they just did a good job against him. The three-hole hitter smoked that one in the gap and then they had a fortuitous chopper through the right side to set something up. They executed a safety squeeze. They did some good things. It wasn't so much that he was making bad pitches. But I just think the true character of a player shows when they get knocked on the ground like he did in the first inning, and then he just regrouped, never lost his confidence, never lost his aggre sivene s. LSU coach Paul Mainieri on LangeYou know, this was a blast. This was a lot of fun. Growing up only three hours away in Kansas City, it's something that every kid dreams of is to play in the College World Series. And being able to go out there and play in it is kind of a dream come true. It was a lot of fun especially with the group of guys we have, how close-knit we are and just being able to share the moment with them and moving on. That's pretty cool. LangeI think like Coach said, we need to get Ray Guy Jersey more physical;just standing on the line next to those guys, there's an obvious difference. You guys probably all see it. And so that's something that we're really going to work on next year for sure. And I really think
