Quote
"We're still getting better and figuring some things out. I was happy with the way we swung the bat overall and our level of compete, as I think the timely hitting will come and will equal more runs. The pitchers continue to carry the loads for us. They threw the ball well and gave us a good chance to win." – head coach Eric Cirella.
