Southwest Missouri State Coaches and Players
Head Coach Keith Guttin
Opening Statement
It is nice to be back.  We had a positive experience in terms of fans and hospitality last year.  We are looking at Coastal Carolina’s numbers, and they have good team speed and impressive pitching.  They have shown more power than us.”

On pitching rotation
“Chad (Mullholland) will pitch on Friday and Brad (Ziegler) will start on Saturday.  That is the order which I follow.”

Playing at Hawks Field
“Our experience here was great last year.   We made it to the regional championship last year, yet we want to win this year.  We have to concentrate on baseball and not on how many people are in the crowd.”

Brad Ziegler
Past Experience at Hawks Field
“We are definitely an older team with more juniors and seniors which we rely on and we have more experience in tournament play.  Coach Guttin has donea good job of getting us ready, and we are ready to play.”

Chad Mulholland
Playing against Coastal Carolina
“We have to try and keep the top of the order off base by going after them and using what we have to defeat them.”

Playing at Hawks Field
“It is just another ball park, but the ball looks like it carries well here.”
