Texas Tech Post-Game Press Conference
Dylan Dusek (LHP)
Talk about the outing...
A great atmosphere out there. It was awesome to be at their park and being able to honestly just shut them down. I just felt great tonight. Maybe a little control problems, but everything worked my way. That's how it went and with the great defense behind me.
How did you approach Miami knowing that they scored one run in the previous game?
My main goal for tonight, for always, is to always get ahead of batters. I did very well with that tonight, so that was pretty much one of my main successes.
What is about your makeup, your style that kept them off balance?
I'm usually worked backwards. I'm known as a crafty lefty, so if they haven't seen many of those that's probably what I'm used to hearing in my life. Fastball was on. Changeup was very good. Curveball was there occasionally.
Tim Proudfoot (SS)
How would you rate Dusek's performance compared to his others this year?
It was unreal. He did a great job, controlled the game, and gave us a chance to give him some runs for him. He did a great job tonight.
How big were those early runs?
That was great. Last night took us awhile to get some runs, so it was good to get them early and give Dylan some support.
Corey Taylor (RHP)
Take us through the ninth...
Coming in I just wanted to throw lots of strikes and give my defense behind me a chance.
Tim Tadlock (Texas Tech Head Coach)
Opening Statement
Miami really competed well and I thought [Chris] Diaz was really tough as advertised. He really can pitch, really change speeds well. We were fortunate enough to get a few runs off him early. We really could settle it and really thought that even in the ninth we really caught some breaks. The ball that [Johnny] Ruiz hit, right at Timmy [Proudfoot], that ball couldn't get squared up anymore. Sometimes it's a cruel game. It was definitely cruel to him at that moment. It was definitely cruel in that moment and it's a tough game and our kids competed well. I'm really proud of them.
What was the decision like to pull Dylan Dusek after eight innings?
We were hitter to hitter for a long time there. I think we had Corey [Taylor] throwing as early as the fifth. He was tossing. We were talking about other options and talking about other guys in the bullpen. He stayed in the windup and even when he got in the stretch he made some pitches. He was pretty efficient. He was about as efficient as he's been this whole season. Really great job under the circumstances.
