Coach's Quotes (Lou Proietti)
- We got off to a solid start but weren't able to keep them off the board enough to win the game.
- I thought we started to count outs early in the game when we had a 5 run lead and need to do a better job offensively innings 2 through 6.
- Defensively we did enough to keep ourselves in the game.
