Key Quotes
Head Coach Tony Baldwin
On the team's performance this evening...
"It's disappointing. We've played really good defense all year, and tonight, we didn't get it done on that side of the ball. Ultimately, it put us in a hole where we had to try and climb out of it, and we didn't string together enough at-bats to do that. Again, I'm disappointed in the outcome. I still believe that we have a really good team, and we're going to come out and fight like hell tomorrow."
Up Next
