“We played a good game today and we finally swung the bats,” coach Bobby Pierce said. “I was proud of our effort and how we responded to yesterday's loss. We need to keep this momentum rolling as we hit the road for several games.”

Michael Precise singled to right scoring Bryant from second. Bryan Miller doubled to right center scoring Felix. Both runners scored on a two-RBI single off the bat of Brett Henry.

Jeff Green (1-3) got his first win of the year on the game. He went six complete innings and allowed three runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out six.
“Jeff had good stuff today and he commanded his pitches,” Pierce said. “He located his pitches and kept their hitters off balance and got good run support from our offense.”
Precise led all hitters with four hits and six RBI. Fujita and Kelley each had two hits with Fujita picking up three RBI. Henry also had two hits and three RBI.
