Coach's Quote (Lou Proietti)
- We didn't do enough offensively to win this game. We grounded into three double plays and got away from our offensive approach at times.
- Kyle Mahady and Christian Coombes did a great job on the mound for us and gave us a chance to win. We'll need to play well against the Citadel to be able to compete.
