South Carolina vs. Ole Miss

Head Coach Ray Tanner Quotes

On today’s game
“I thought we had some good at bats at times. We squared up some balls. (Christian) Walker with the infield in to tie the game wasn’t able to tie the game. He didn’t get a ball in the air, which you would like at that point. But he hit a ball pretty good and it went off of the pitcher and he made a play to keep it in the infield. The difference in the game was the job that Tracy did for them out of the bullpen. He was stellar. He did a great job, and we stranded some guys. But we had some at bats in there that were okay.”

On winning the series
“Well it’s one of those situations that after five series if we could have signed up for where we are, would we take it? Absolutely. But that being said, when you get into a game like today, you want to get it too. We didn’t do enough to win. We did some good things, but we didn’t do quite enough to win.”

On being satisfied with the way the team has played so far in the SEC
“I am. We have won 11 games, and we have won all the series. We have won some close ones. We had pretty good pitching today. Our bullpen gave us a chance to win again. We’ve done some good things.”
