Texas Tech Team Quotes
Coach Larry Hays
"Kansas State has worn us out. We had a chance to win throughout the game, but we didn't come through until the end. Kansas State pitches us as well as anyone has pitched us all season. We hung around and finally won the game."
Steve Rowe
"I was able to come through with the big pitches. I was able to get the outs I needed and we were able to get a win."
Jake Brown
"The ballpark is spacious and the ball travels well here. This is a great ballpark to play and to hit in."
"We come back well and I like to always think we are going to win. We were consistent with our approach, and that helped us come through a little more."
Kansas State Team Quotes
Coach Mike Clark
"Kevin pitched a whale of a ballgame. We knew we could play with them, but they played a good ballgame. We feel like we are at that level. We went out there and competed, as we have all season.
Pat Maloney-Jr. OF
On hitting his homerun-
"I was surprised it went out. I think I was the most surprised out of anyone that it went out. Starting the first inning with a 1-0 lead, we were pretty confident."
Kevin Melcher-Jr. P
On coming to Kansas State-
"I didn't see any playing time (at TCU). I was red-shirted my freshmen year and suited up my sophomore year, but I never saw any playing time. In December of my third year, I looked on the roster and I wasn't on it. So, I called Coach Clark and asked if he needed any pitchers, and he said, 'I could always use pitchers.'"
