Key Quote
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On Thursday's game…
"After the first inning, I thought Joey (Volchko) was really good, but at that point we were down 3-0, but it was still early and he ended up going five innings. I thought Zach came in and threw the ball well, giving us three innings and so we only had to use two guys tonight and that will leave us with a full bullpen Friday. We got some good swings off tonight, Daniel (Jackson) and Ryan(Wynn) hit a couple of home runs. We had some other opportunities for a big inning but we didn't come up with a key hit."
