Chapel Hill: Potent Quotables
By Bryan Graham - June 02, 2006
As the grounds crew lugs the tarp off the field -- the public address announcer just said that the second game will start at 7:55 p.m. -- here is an assortment of post-game quotes from Winthrop's convincing afternoon victory:
"It was a pretty good game for six-and-a-half innings. I thought both [UNC starter Bradley] Holt and [Winthrop starter Heath] Rollins pitched extremely well. We had a 3-2 game in the bottom of the seventh and the wheels came off at that point. I thought [Winthrop] did a nice job -- an outstanding job as a matter of fact -- of really taking advantage of the opportunity, the bases-loaded, no-out situation in the seventh to open the game up. From that point, it was going to be difficult to recover." --UNC Wilmington coach Mark Scalf
"We're definitely capable of putting up good numbers. We have a pretty good lineup one through nine. We don't have anyone where an opposing pitcher can just take a hitter off." --Winthop third baseman Ben Ehrlich
"Heath pitched a good game and we're confident that when he's on the mound, he can take on anybody in the country." --Winthrop coach Joe Hudak
"I'm proud of our guys. It was a great first game, but that's all it was. We're not happy or satisfied with winning one game." --Hudak on Winthrop's second NCAA Tournament victory since 2001
