On This Week's Games…
It's always good when you can walk away from the field with a couple of wins, but our goal is to play our best baseball. Guys have been working hard and have shown flashes of what could be, but we need to continue working to be more consistent as a whole in order to give ourselves a chance to have a good season. We are on the right track and it's good to see some guys having success.
Cole Tabor, Sophomore Infielder
