QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"It was a great team outing. I thought we got a great outing from Jacob Condra-Bogan and we played some good defense behind him. We made some nice plays in the outfield and (Steven) Curry made a nice play laying out to get the final out on the ball up the middle. We were able to jump out and get some runs early, Jordan Wren had a great double to get us on the board. It was a solid game, it's always good to get the first one, but we've got to continue to play good baseball tomorrow and in the rest of the series."
