Missouri Head Coach Tim Jamieson:
On his team's win:
"I'm real pleased with how we finished the game and played. It was pretty indicative of how we've played all year."
On playing in front of a sell out crowd:
"We've never had an opportunity to play in front of this many Missourians before and it was awesome. It was one of the best experiences I've had in Columbia, Missouri."
Aaron Crow, Missouri Pitcher
On coming back from his performance in Oklahoma City:
"It was fairly easy considering the first inning. I think the first inning was the biggest key. When I came on I was able to locate and get out of that inning fairly easy. So, after that first inning, I felt fine.
Trevor Coleman, Missouri Catcher
On Crow's performance:
"From the beginning he had good pop and came out firing. It was real impressive how he could dominate the zone and got guys out early in the count. It really helped him to go all nine innings."
John McKee, Missouri 1B
On his sixth inning grand slam:
"I was just trying to put a good swing on the ball...it feels pretty good especially when you've got 3,500 fans behind you screaming for you. It can't get much better than that."
Kent State Head Coach Scott Strickland
On Aaron Crow's Pitching Performance:
"The difference in the game was Crow's command of the strike zone. He was as good as advertised. We were told he was very good. My hat's off to him. He pitched very well and he beat us tonight."
On John McKee's Grand Slam:
"That kind of took the wind out of our sails. It definitely was a huge turning point in the game."
Chris Carpenter, Kent State Pitcher
On Giving Up Five Runs in the Sixth Inning:
"The whole game I was pretty much in command of my fast ball and I came out there and just couldn't find the strike zone. Missouri is a team that's going to make you pay for your mistakes."
