"The guys did a phenomenal job today against an excellent team," said head coach Matthew Wolfenbarger. "We had great pitching from Logan Suggs, Tyler Temple, and David Standifer. Our offense played well, getting some big hits when we needed it. The defense was good as well, and we even turned a triple play which was pretty cool."

"I know one thing," Wolfenbarger continued. "This is an experienced group that has played from behind before, and it really showed. These guys never give up!"

Starting pitcher Logan Suggs took 5.0 inning-stay on the mound to record four strikeouts with three earned runs.

Tyler Temple entered the game in relief in the sixth to pitch 1.1 innings for one strikeout, but senior pitcher David Standifer closed the game for the win with 0.2 innings thrown and two strikeouts.
