"These are two really big wins today. I'm really proud of how we came out, not only how we pitched but how we played the game and swung the bats," head coach Mitch Thompson said. "We had 10 extra base hits in the first game, that's really a big day."
"Calvert and Glover both threw the ball well starting the games for us and Kirkpatrick finished the second game for us and was outstanding."
"This is a good team win against a good club that can put up runs against you and really hurt you if you don't play well. This was a really good bounce back to win the last three games of the series to win the series."
