5 Quotes by Nick McGurk

I think he pitched well. That was a tight strike zone, but a very consistent strike zone. Brandon never let it shake him. He kept his composure, and I thought he did an excellent job.

With anybody other than Brooks at short and we don't get the out at first. It was perfect, from Nick on through. It was a huge play for us.

We did a nice job of taking the ball the other way tonight. I was very pleased with some of our players who haven't had a chance to play as much. They got in there and had disciplined at-bats. I was pleased with the way our bench carried itself. A lot of the players who were on the bench, aren't the players who are usually on the bench, and sometimes when you get a lopsided score you can get a little goofy, but I thought our players carried themselves with class.

A lot of players have come through here with that kind of talent. But that's the difference: Brooks has been very disciplined to becoming a better baseball player, and he's come a long way the past couple years. I couldn't be more excited for him.

If you could take any record and tell him he could break it, he'd rather take a conference championship, a regional title, a sectional title over any of them. That's the kind of kid Brooks is.
