2002 ACC Baseball Tournament
Wake Forest vs. North Carolina
Wake Forest head coach George Greer:
"I thought this was an outstanding game played by two teams, just typical of a super-regional final. We have been in those situations before and I think that helped us, but Carolina is a terrific team and we are just very fortunate to come out on the long end tonight."
"The game could have turned at any moment, there were some plays that were made in the field for them and for us that were deciding factors. The double play that they turned and the unconventional double play that we turned - a line drive to center field and we throw out the guy at home plate. Adam Bourassa and Ryan Johnson had excellent games but the biggest hit of all was Stephen Ghutzman coming through for us."
North Carolina head coach Mike Fox:
"I thought it was a great college baseball game, we should have won. I thought my kids played their hearts out. It was just a great game, and Wake Forest has a great team and they showed it tonight the way they played. We played well enough to win and I feel bad for my players that we didn't win the game because we played well enough and hard enough to do it, but this is baseball."
"We better put this one behind us quick. That is what tournaments do. You've got to turn around quick and you can't dwell on the day before because we know how good Georgia Tech is, but we'll be ready to play tomorrow at 3:30."
