SOUTHERN MISS HEAD COACH CORKY PALMER
"I've said a number of times that it starts on the hill. Mike (Cashion) got it done and gave our offense time to get in the flow. The kids were feeling comfortable yesterday and when we get rolling like that it makes them very comfortable at the plate. It was a super game."
On Southern Miss pitcher Mike Cashion
"Mike gave us a super shot in the arm, going seven. To do that in the third game gives us a lot better opportunity to succeed tomorrow. Memphis is a good fastball hitting team and Mike has our best breaking ball. He spotted his fast ball and kept them confused and had both his breaking ball the curve and the slider working."
SOUTHERN MISS PITCHER MIKE CASHION
"Everything was working pretty good for me today. I went out there and settled down and tried to get the ball over the plate. After the first two innings you can tell if you have it."
SOUTHERN MISS SECOND BASEMAN JARRETT HOFFPAUIR
"Anytime you get good pitching from your starting pitcher, it makes you r job a lot easier. It kind of snowballs. We put up a couple of run early and we're kind of dangerous."
On playing Memphis again after losing 10-5 to the Tigers on Wednesday
"I think we definitely had something to prove. We didn't play real well the first day and kind of got it rolling yesterday and we knew our chances were pretty good coming into today with the way we were swinging the bats. This is the Southern Miss team that we were earlier in the year. It's definitely a good time to get it going, with regionals coming up.
MEMPHIS HEAD COACH DAVE ANDERSON
"Obviously this is a very disappointing end to a promising start. I think losing last night's game in the ninth inning with a two run lead was one of the toughest losses I can think of. Today there guy came out and we couldn't do anything against him and he couldn't stop them from scoring."
"We could not get anything going at all. We couldn't put any pressure them at all. When you're facing a really good team you have to put pressure on them. You look back at game one that we played against them and we dictated the pace of the game, which is what you have to do against good teams. If you don't do that and allow guys to get on base, they're going to make you pay dearly."
