Coach Sanchez and winning pitcher Brandon Bollinger had this to say after the game.
"They havent let anything become a distraction, whether its been a lightning delay, or we've gotten down early, and they did all that with two outs again. We've had 32 2-out runs, and to add two more to that today and have it stick, its big for us" says Head Coach Scottie Sanchez.
"It's extremely important, we only play one game at home and to come out and get that first one when they have two at home, it makes it a lot easier to grab that second one there when we already have one." adds Pitcher Brandon Bollinger.
