NC State senior stars Brian Brown and Josh McLain met with the media to talk about this week's ACC Baseball Championship.



Senior Pitcher Brian Brown

"[Reid Johnston] has been great all this year.  His fastball command is probably one of the best on the team honestly. As a freshman putting up the 2.8 I think he has, that's just awesome."

"[Winning ACC Pitcher of the Year] is special. It's really special to see everything on Twitter. But the real goal, we have to get to the playoffs and get to Omaha. That's the real goal."

"It's nice for the pitching staff to get the full rest. Position players I can't really speak for them, but I think it's an advantage for us."

"As people adjust to me I have to adjust to them. It's been a great ride, but it's not over yet."

"You only have to go 1-1.  Every game in the ACC is tough, but not having to win both one of them is a huge advantage for us. It being in Durham, I love it in Durham. It's awesome."

Senior Outfielder Josh McLain

"I was scared to death when I came in but those guys came in and knew they were good, ready to play when they got here."

"We needed [Reid Johnston] as a starter, we were looking for that Friday night starter and he stepped up.  He took the job, I don't know when it happened... he grew from there and got better and better."

"It's nice, it's that way for us.  You have to win both games, momentum is something you need in this sport."

"We have to win Thursday and Friday to get this thing rolling."

"You have to win every game from here on out."

"If we win out we have to win four games in a rowl. I guess that can wear on you but I don't see it as a disadvantage."

"I looked down the stat line and you see guys with 10-15 home runs and it's a row of them... it's crazy, I've never seen anything like it."

"I think this team, there is a different feeling about this team.  I don't know what it is.  We have 40 wins this year, first time I've ever been on a 40-win team."

"Everybody in the ACC is good right now."
