MANAGER'S CORNER

• "The standard is the standard," said head coach Franklin Bush. "The standard does have a record. The standard doesn't have a score. The standard shows up every day no matter the outcome or situation. We have to understand that as a program and learned more about that today. Continue to learn and continue to get better. That's who we are as a program. We look forward to another opportunity tomorrow and being at our best during training."n

UP NEXT

• The Warhawks host the University of West Florida on Friday, April 19 at 5 p.m. before the team's Senior Day ceremony on Saturday, April 20 ahead of the doubleheader.
