COACHES COMMENTS: "We executed all phases of the game really well today," said head coach Kevin Van Duyn. "We hit the ball well today as we hit with power. We hit small ball and we hit well with two outs. Our pitchers dialed in on the strike zone and we didn't commit an error in both games so it's a great formula for winning a lot of games. Both our starting pitchers were outstanding, and they had good defense behind them to help get the wins.
