Starting Pitcher Korey Noles:
On pitching in front of his family and friends:
“It means a lot, having all this support and all the people behind just really helps you to get over that hump and really dig deep”
BlueClaws Hitting Coach Greg Legg:
On seeing the ball hit for the final out:
“All year long, even through spring training, I told the guys that Harold Garcia was my favorite player…because he played second and so did I, so when the ball was hit to him I yelled ‘It’s my favorite player!’ it’s euphoria, and I think its the journey that makes it worth while…”
BlueClaws Third Baseman Travis Mattair:
On seeing the final out:
“I started jumping around, I was so excited that’s the moment you’ve been working for the whole season. One-hundred and forty games plus the playoffs, that’s what you grind for throughout the season to get to that moment and when it happened it was kind of surreal, but it’s a great feeling and such a great group of guys and I’m so thrilled to be a part of this team.”
BlueClaws Outfielder Anthony Gose and Catcher Travis d’Arnaud:
“It was one of the best feelings in the world” - d’Arnaud “This was my first time being part of a championship team and it was amazing.” - Gose
