Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On Bryce Calloway's returning to pitch…
"We have been penning him (working in the bullpen). Everybody knows about his surgery in December and putting him back. We have been penning for probably two and a half weeks. We had him built up for one inning. I didn't want his pitch count to go over about 25. We know what he can do on the mound when he's healthy, and we're getting there. That fastball is different, it is heavy. The slider was good. He came in, got some outs, didn't give up a run, so good."
#3 Daniel Jackson | Jr. | C/OF
On winning the SEC last night and message from Coach Wes Johnson going into today…
"We'll celebrate tonight, but the job's not finished. Just because we won the SEC regular season does not mean we stop doing what we are doing. The chance to talk about just kind of coming out after you did that and really keeping your focus."
#12 Caden Aoki | Sr. | RHP
On the mindset reset overnight…
"It just shows what the team's all about. We enjoyed it on the field yesterday, but we got back in the clubhouse and then we had work to do today. So just coming out here and doing our thing is the biggest thing."
