QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"It was good to bounce back and take the series win today. We got some good pitching today, Chase (Cohen) gave us a strong effort and really shut ULM down in the first half of the game to give our offense time to get things going. Offensively we were able to bust things out with the big fifth inning."
