Key Quotes
Corey Collins, DH
On his comfort level at the plate...
"It is something that has stayed the same the whole time, just trying to get the ball and find something I can do damage with. Today, I got two (home runs). I put some good swings on them. If you're not going to give it to me, then I will take it. We will go from there for the guy behind me."
Ike Cousins Head Coach Wes Johnson
On bouncing back after a tough extra-innings loss…
"It's like I tell our guys. Tomorrow's just another game. I haven't determined a starter yet, but whoever that is needs to come out at 2 o'clock and attack the strike zone. We need to get in the box tomorrow against Jac Caglianone, not chase, stay within ourselves and get off good swings. If we do, the scoreboard and everything else will start to take care of itself."
