Head Coach Mark Calvi
- On the win:
"It feels great to be back home, it feels like we've been gone a month. It is great to get a win, and our guys played really well. (Tyler) Lehrmann went out there – we knew we were going to split the game up with a bunch of guys; all you ask is they go out there and compete and throw strikes, and we got six of our nine leadoff outs which is big. I would like to see that at seven, and we had a few too many walks in there. But other than that, I thought the guys handled themselves well."
