OLE MISS HEAD COACH MIKE BIANCO
On the game...
"It was really a game of answers. We would score three. They scored three. They scored one. We scored one. They took the lead, and then we took it back. It was really a great, great college baseball game. It was disappointing that we lost some of the leads, but I'm really proud of the guys for fighting back. I'm proud of our pitchers for not hanging their heads."
On Guerrero's homerun...
"I got pretty emotional. It's about as good as I felt in a while. Michael has been hitting pretty well. In batting practice the last few days, he's been so terrific at the plate. I'm right where it is in the dugout, so I know that it is going out. We were pretty excited. We put a lot into this, so it's nice to win a game like that."
JAKE MORGAN, PITCHER
On the game...
"It was a wonderful game. Everybody kept fighting. It's really nice to get the win today and get tomorrow off. I knew our team is really strong. We have seen it over the season how we have came back and won games."
MICHAEL GUERRERO, OUTFIELD
On the game and his performance...
"All I could think was wow. I was making good swings all I night, and I knew that it was going to happen sometime for me to hit a ball real deep. When they scored that last run, I wasn't really worried about it. I knew that we were going to come through."
