"It was a blessing to be on our home field this weekend with good weather and the ability to compete in front of our fans. It was an extremely offensive day for both teams, but we were really proud to see all of our guys stay locked in and focused in a long day. Our pitching staff minimized and found a way to get enough outs for us to have a way to win. Our offense, well they just had an incredible day after they have been working extremely hard to get better and better. This is a special group of guys on and off the field, and I believe they have a lot in front of them."
