THEY SAID IT (Courtesy: UM)
Coach G on the win against BCC:
"Those guys always play good against us," head coach Gino DiMare said. "When you're beating a pitcher like that that can beat anybody on any given day, I'm proud of our guys that battled and fought through it."
Coach G on beating Anthony Maldonaldo who retired the 1st 8 batters he faced :
"That guy who has thrown against us the last few years has been tough on us," DiMare said. "Our guys just kept battling and grinding out at-bats. He was laboring as that game went on and I guarantee you he hasn't done that too much in his outings."
Coach G on the 8-inning, 3 hit performance by his starter Brian Van Belle:
"Van Belle in his first Friday night game and faced up against a good pitcher, I thought he was very efficient tonight," DiMare said. "I thought he threw a lot to contact. Seven innings and 84 pitches, that's 12 pitches an inning and I'll take that every time."
Lala and Vilar have been struggling at the plate, but they came up BIG tonight...
FR CF'der Jordan Lala, on his 2-run HR that gave UM an early 2-0 lead:
"I was just looking for a pitch I could drive," Lala said. "I've been struggling lately and I just telling myself to keep swinging the bat and eventually it would go my way and it did there."
FR SS Anthony Vilar on the U retaking the lead on his 5th inning bases-loaded single:
"It was just a big inning," Vilar said. "We started the inning with nobody on base and two outs. Guys got on base and it was a big opportunity to score some runs and get the lead again. I saw a pitch I could hit and I hit a line drive up the middle."
Vilar talks about the Canes responding after BCC took the lead in the 5th inning:
"It's a big thing once a team scores, it brings them down once you come back that next inning and score runs yourself," Vilar said. "That's a big thing that we have tried to accomplish all year and that's what we are going to try to do all season."
