FLORIDA STATE HEAD COACH MIKE MARTIN
"I've been blessed to be the baseball coach at Florida State University for a long time. I don't ever remember ever playing a nine-inning game in which we did not strike anybody out, we made three errors and we gave up one run. That is a credit to Blair Varnes and the great job that he did. There is no question that the side-arm pitches he has developed have taken him up a notch."
"It was a very important win for us. We are obviously trying to win this whole thing, but at the same time it is important that our next starter gets an opportunity to pitch. Had Blair not gone out there and done the job that he did we may not have gotten Jon McDonald an opportunity to pitch. This was a big win for us."
NORTH CAROLINA HEAD COACH MIKE FOX
"I would like to congratulate Florida State. They obviously played a great game. Varnes was really good today. He is the type of pitcher that doesn't beat himself. You have to swing the bat to get it done against him."
"I want to congratulate all the people in Charlotte with the Knights and Tim's (Newman) staff. It has been a great tournament. People have done a first-class job. They have treated our players exceptionally well which is a key to hosting a tournament and how the student-athletes feel about their experience."
"We're disappointed not to advance. We'll move past this and hope to get some good news on Monday. We hope to be playing next weekend."
