COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Bryce and CJ were both fantastic along with our bullpen against Boyd Co. 15 strikeouts in the second game is awesome.”
“… On Saturday the wind was brutal all day and Russell hit a few home runs. We didn’t play very well in either game but had a great comeback vs Paintsville to win that game.”
