Clemson Baseball Postgame Quotes

May 20, 2000

GEORGIA TECH HEAD COACH DANNY HALL

“I knew it was going to be a dog fight. They have a great team. I told Jack (Leggett) last night after the win that I knew I would see him again. I’m very proud of my guys. My guys hung in there and found away to get it done. Ben Sheeter gave us a good start and I’m really proud of Andy Mitchell. He had a great day. He threw two innings against Florida State and came in here and pitched two more tonight.”

“Everybody stepped up. It is a great accomplishment to win the regular season championship and the tournament. We could not have played any better.”

“I think we are playing with a lot of confidence right now. This will do nothing but boost our confidence. What I’m really hoping is we pack the place (Russ Chandler Stadium) next week. I’m proud and I’m kind of speechless right now.”

CLEMSON HEAD COACH JACK LEGGETT

“This was a tough loss for us. They are a good baseball team. You have to give them the credit. They keep coming at you. I thought we had our opportunities during the course of the game. We quite honestly didn’t situational hit very well. We had some opportunities to scratch out some runs earlier in the game, but we didn’t quite get it done.”

“I’m really proud of Ryan Childs. He pitched extremely well for a freshman. We just did not relief pitch. We walked too many people and put too many people on base. We just didn’t pitch well enough down the stretch.”
