Coaches Quotes: “I continue to be proud of these boys. They didn’t give up and they battled for an entire 7 innings to get this victory. Deven Mitchell did a nice job of hitting in the sixth inning when he gave us a two-out RBI single. Richards followed with another hit, then Bennett got a double, then Sims got a hit. We ended up scoring all 6 runs with two outs.” “Our boys know we are not out of any game, no matter the score, and they showed it today”.
Congratulations to Mithcell and Isenburg for being named to the all-tournament team today.
