Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On Thursday's road win over No. 4 Auburn
"We win a close one every now and then, and this one reminded of the Mississippi State game on Friday night that we won 3-1 and Ryan Wynn had a big home run in that one too. Auburn's guy (Make Marciano) was really good. He was hitting edges and mixing pitches. He left one out over the plate that Daniel Janckson got a good swing off and then (Ryan) Wynn got him late. That's going to happen in game one of a series with two good pitchers battling. I was very proud of Joey (Volchko). They hit him a little in the first. They got three hits but just one run, but he settled in and made some pitches. Then, we flip it over to Matt (Scott), and I thought he was electric. He can get to fine at times, but tonight we wanted him to compete in the strike zone, and he ended up giving up just one infield hit and a walk."

Ryan Wynn , Jr., 2B
On Thursday's 2-1 win over No. 4 Auburn
"It shows that we're very versatile at the plate and on the mound. The pitchers picked us up today. We were grinding out at bats against some good arms. Our pitchers held the other team down the whole game, and we can't ask for more than that."
