Key Quotes

Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson

"Both teams had six hits but theirs counted for more than ours did. We executed okay on the mound, but when we missed we got in trouble. You tip your hat to them. They didn't miss in the middle of the plate that much. We're going to get back on the horse, and tomorrow is another day and get after it."
