COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Great start to our post season run. We played very clean and Jake Derifield did an excellent job of getting us back in the dugout and the defense was right where we need to be. Talon Pollock made a couple of real nice plays defensively and Will Lafferty continued to swing a very hot bat leading the way offensively.”
