Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Tony Skole
"Besides that big inning we played pretty good. We kept them off the scoreboard for six of the eight innings. They have a really good lineup that can hurt you in a hurry and that is what happened. They were able to get some good swings and separate from us.
 
"I give their pitchers a lot of credit. They pounded the zone and it seemed like we were behind in the count from an offensive standpoint the whole game. We just couldn't get anything going."
