PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… Playing against Louisville was a once in a lifetime experience for sure. It was a great opportunity to really prove ourselves and we did just that. We didn’t let the moment get too big and we didn’t let up the whole game. When we finally broke through we finished the job. My last at bat I just did my job and came through in the clutch. This win is definitely a big one and hopefully we can carry the momentum into the weekend.”
Where does Marshall play these days? You left us hanging.
I think they play at the Kennedy Center YMCA
