Coach's Quotes (Lou Proietti)
- We battled for 8 innings but couldn't finish. Jack Gannon did a terrific job on the mound for us and gave us a chance to win. Our bullpen also did a very good job for us today.
- We need to compete better at the plate. We didn't get our best swings off with less than two strikes for most of the game.
- We need to have two good days of practice to get ready for Fairfield this weekend.

The Peacocks are back in action this weekend for a series at Fairfield from Friday, Apr. 22- Sunday, Apr. 24. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Friday, while the weekend games are slated for 1 p.m.
