MANAGER'S CORNER

• "We found a way to win enough pitches to like the result," said head coach Franklin Bush. "We have to continue to understand that this pitch is the most important, then the next pitch, and then move to the next. This game served as a great example for our team. We can't take pitches off and give away opportunities. Excited about some guys who stepped up today. That was good to see for our program. We will set our eyes on tomorrow and find a way to continue to get better and master our standard."
