Coaches Comments
"It was a great start for us today," said Head Coach Casey Klunder postgame. "Our top of the order has been great all season and today was no different with five early runs."
 
Klunder spoke about what Armstrong has been able to do at the plate in his limited action this season, "He really adds depth to our batting order. I'm really happy for him and its been a nice lift to the whole team to see him out there."
 
"I think a couple guys took advantage of their opportunity on the mound today," said Klunder about his pitching staff today. "Logan Sullivan is a guy who stood out the most. That's a better version of him then we saw his last time out so hats off to him for continuing to work hard."
