FROM COACH WALTER
"Blake [Morningstar] didn't have his best stuff today, but he battled, gave us a chance to win. We took the lead late and couldn't hang on to it. A couple of walks there with one out, and B.C. did a good job with two outs all weekend getting big hits. We did a good job with two outs today in some big situations getting hits. We had the game right where we wanted it. We had the lead with [Griffin] Green, [Luke] Schmolke and [Haiden] Leffew and couldn't hang on. We've got to bounce back and find a way to win on Tuesday against Liberty." - Head Coach Tom Walter
