Opening statement
Couldn't be more proud of this group of kids. What they were able to do and what they were able to accomplish is nothing short of miraculous.
I'm so thankful for these players. Thankful for the seniors. We have kids in this group that have been part of the best season in program history twice. This was the best season in Mountaineer baseball history. They've been playing baseball for 135 years, so this group of kids gets to say that after 135 teams, they were the first team to make it to Omaha, to play and be one of the last four teams standing. That's certainly tremendous.
