QUOTEABLES
HEAD COACH RODNEY HENNON
"We're proud of our team, we really needed that win coming off a tough weekend. Things didn't start off well, but re responded well as a team to get that big inning in the third. I thought Anthony Paesano really stepped up out of the bullpen, he was outstanding. We were able to string together some at bats and the guys that came in off the bench contributed positively as well. It wasn't all pretty tonight, but it was good to get the win."
