Postgame quotes: College World Series Championship Series Game Two
[Jun. 26, 2006] I have to give a lot of credit to Oregon State. They made the plays. It's a tale of two games. We felt good with the lead and then we opened the door for OSU and they took advantage of it. We opened that inning with (Tyler) Graham getting hit by a pitch and then a walk. We've talked about not giving up the big inning. We just couldn't prevent that tonight. (Kevin) Gunderson is a tough player. OSU hit the ball tonight. It just wasn't meant to be and we'll just have to come back out and do it again tomorrow.

Postgame quotes: College World Series Championship Series Game One
[Jun. 25, 2006] This was a big win for us, a huge win. I don't want to take anything away from Oregon State. They are a great ball club, but we didn't play our best baseball tonight. Our relief pitching was outstanding and our bullpen really backed up our pitching. Chad (Flack) had some big hits for us and that doesn't surprise me at all. We were fortunate to win. Oregon State is a tough bunch and they really put the pressure on us. A few swings of the bat and our pitching is what kept us in the game.
