Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On the upcoming series finale...
"The message is the job is not done. It's just not. You should know by the score of the first two games that these guys aren't going to lay down. They're going to come at you the whole weekend. They have four good arms left in the bullpen. The message is 'job not done', and we need to come out here tomorrow and be focused."
Paul Farley | R-So. | RHP
On his improvement during his career…
"Just consistency. Consistency is the main thing I have been working on this year. The more consistent you are as a pitcher, the better you're going to be."
Rylan Lujo | So. | CF
On his home run…
"He threw me a pitch that I could do damage on. The whole game, he was staying away. He was doing a good job at staying away. On the other half, he tried to get one by me, curveballs kept going in, but that's my sweet spot."
