COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Hats off to Will Lafferty we called on him and it started off right with a clean first inning, he attacked the strike zone. We came in and put pressure on them from the get go on offense, I think we scored in every inning plus we hit some balls hard that they made good plays on as well.”
“… How about Ethan Whitt the baseball must look like a watermelon coming in there, he had a great night offensively. We are happy too, but we aren’t content with just the semifinals and our guys know that.”
“…Who ever we play on Sunday night will know that they better come to play.”
