Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On Saturday's doubleheader…
"We showed a little bit of toughness today. Toughness is the ability to have great endurance, and we did. We took a gut punch in that first game but just have to keep going. Then in the second game, we had to keep grinding and I told the team it will turn in our favor, and it did. Tre (Phelps) got off a great swing there to give us the lead in the 14^th. Paul Farley came in and shut it down. We can spend all night here talking how great some of the guys battled. Zach Brown got us off to a good start, Caleb Jameson gave us 2.2 innings, Matt Scott a little more than three innings, Grant Edwards goes two scoreless, and we brought back (Justin) Byrd who got us to Paul.
