Coach's Comment:
"I thought our guys played simple baseball on day one and were disciplined. We threw strikes, played good defense, and the offense took care of business and squared up baseballs. We were able to complete the sweep, but some mental struggles challenged us in the third game.
Overall, a sweep is a sweep and we need to get ready for a big weekend on the road. We have a midweek to get us back to focusing on the little things, and then we have to be hungry to take the series at a place that is tough to win at."
