University of Miami Head Coach Jim Morris
“FAU has an outstanding club. It’s nice to see us play well, and get hot at the right time. The seniors played very well today.”
“The secret to getting to Omaha is to get hot at the right time, and we did that this weekend.”
Starting Pitcher J.D. Cockroft
“After the second inning, I got into a groove. I didn’t want to see the weather delay, but after (the delay), I just tried to get back in the groove and keep us in the game.”
“It (the pickoff play) was a huge play for us. It was a momentum swing. It was a timing play we work on, and we executed it perfectly.”
First Baseman Jim Burt
“I saw the ball well all weekend, tried to stay balanced and quiet at the plate, and it worked out.”
“It is great (winning MVP), this being my senior year and all, but we have a long way to go.”
Florida Atlantic Head Coach Kevin Cooney
“It was a great game until the sixth inning and the seventh just changed everything around. I thought it was a great baseball game until that point. Our relief pitchers didn’t really do anything positive to keep us in the game and that’s the story right there.”
Starting pitcher Randy Beam
“I was feeling fine until right there at the end. The rain delay hurt me a little bit. I didn’t have my stuff – missed my spots. That seventh inning was a little rough.”
