Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On the game/weekend
"Their starter, that's what you see in our league on a Friday night. He threw the ball really well and executed pitches. We knew he had a ton of sink and run. On a day like today, that's when you have a chance for a no-hitter. They are a really good ballclub and will be a high seed in a regional again. Our bullpen was outstanding. One guy reached second base after that first inning."

Devin Obee, OF
"Today you have to credit their starter. He kept us off balance and was very effective. We should've started earlier offensively. We'll get back to practice, in the gym, in the cages and get back to work."
