Swope's Take
"The guys came out and battled early on in game one and got some momentum," head coach
Matt Swope said. "We were able to put them away and then you just can't say enough in game two. Everybody chipping in, had their best arms and it was just a great baseball game. We just just did a little bit more."
Elijah Lambros On The Offense's Explosive Ability
"It shows the work that Swope puts into us, how much he cares and how much he wants to see us succeed. It also shows how much the team wants to succeed because when we're all winning there's a level of care that we have and we all bring it together."
