Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Tony Skole
"Obviously, it is tough to win a game if you don't score any runs. I thought offensively we had some good at bats, hit some balls hard, but we just couldn't get that big hit when we needed it. We were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and 1-for-15 with runners on so that makes it difficult.
 
"I tip my cap to Mercer. They came out and swung the bats in that first inning. They have a guy on and one out and you are waiting for that double play ball against a sinker ball pitcher, and they get six hits in a row. They doesn't usually happen, especially against a guy like Spence.
 
"Their hitters came out and separated from us early, but it was good for our younger pitchers, Flanders, Reeves and Goodman, to come out and throw well. I am very proud of them."
