Coach's Quote (Lou Proietti)
- Not the result we were hoping for. Matt DuBois did a great job keeping us in the game.
- Overall I've been happy with the starting pitching this year. Robby Black came in and gave us two great innings in relief.
- We did more on offense today than yesterday but need to put a complete game together if we hope to win
