“I don’t know where to start tonight, because it’s the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of,” Georgia baseball coach Wes Johnson said after the game, according to the school’s website. “I talk a lot about believing in yourself and enjoying the difficult things, and how difficult things make you grow, not just in the game of baseball, but in life.”
“Clayton Chadwick is one of our best outfielders. He just happened to misplay the ball tonight, which was a coincidence. He was resilient. I told him, ‘You’re going to play this ball.’ He’s going to play to win the ball game against us.”’ “I didn’t expect it to be a home run, but it was a home run. We were very persistent. It was a win for the whole team.”
Mississippi State coach Chris Lemonis was upset about the ejection decision.
“That’s bad,” he said, according to Dawg Nation. “My team is on the field, doing what it’s supposed to do.”
