June 3, 2007
Louisville Head Coach Dan McDonnell
“We’re real excited. The season continues. The message before the game is we get an opportunity to compete today, and we definitely took advantage of that. The most exciting thing is we still get to compete tonight.”
“We feel good that we’re playing. We’re not going to worry about our pitching. It’s a great opportunity for those guys who haven’t pitched much. We’ll play hard; that’s all we can do.”
Louisville designated hitter Jorge Castillo
Miami native, on beating Miami:
“This is great, one of my dreams. I get to show what they could have had.”
Miami Head Coach Jim Morris
“First thing you congratulate Louisville. They did a good job. They’re backs were against the wall just like we were. We had the pitcher who won the most games for us and their guy didn’t have as good a record, but they did a really good job swinging the bats and doing what they had to do to win.”
“We’re all very spoiled at Miami–me, our players, our fans, everybody else–with all the things that have happened over the years. Hopefully, we’ll continue to be spoiled in the future.”
“You would have never thought 10 years ago that we would be playing in a regional at Missouri and lose two games to Louisville – two cold-weather schools.”
Miami starting pitcher Eric Erickson
“I don’t think I threw well enough to beat anybody today.”
Miami closer Danny Gil
“I don’t know how to react to it being over in Regionals, so it’s pretty tough. We never really worried about the Regional in my four years, but I knew for some reason this would be a tough one.”
Miami catcher Richard O’Brien
“I just want to thank Coach Morris for letting me play when other people doubted me at other schools.”
