QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"It was good to get a lead on the road in the first inning. After that, Brian Eichhorn gave us a great performance. When you score early, you want to be able to hold onto the momentum, working ahead, throwing strikes and keeping the leadoff man off base. The home runs we got late in the game helped give us a cushion. Now we've got to get ready for the weekend."

SCORING PLAYS
Top 1st - GS 1 - KSU 0 - A leadoff double from Steven Curry set the tone for the Eagle offense in a game that saw 10 hits by the Eagles. Cal Baker lashed a two out single through the left side to score Curry and give the Eagles an early 1-0 lead.
