"They've (New York Yankees) had real good accuracy, outside, inside. They're not leaving any balls out over the plate. The balls we're getting to hit are low and we're hitting them right into the ground. (David) Cone threw me some pitches for strikes I couldn't do anything with." - ORU Graduate Keith Lockhart (October 25, 1999)
