MANAGER'S CORNER

• "We continue to chase our standard," said head coach Franklin Bush. "Bitter taste in our mouth from our last opportunity. We have to be more consistent in competing to our standard pitch-to-pitch. We continue to learn and continue to get better. We will put our heads down and keep working on ourselves on and off the field. Our standard is a lifestyle. Let's continue to master it!"

UP NEXT

• The Warhawks host Columbus State University on Tuesday, March 12 at 4 p.m. at Q.V. Lowe Field before traveling to Cleveland, Tenn. to take on Lee (Tenn.) University in league action March 15-16.
