COACH SCHMITZ QUOTE
"You only have so many conference weekends at home, and you want to make each one count. This is an important series for both teams, and we really respect the program that Western Michigan has. They have a potent offense and some really good arms, and we'll need to play clean baseball all weekend in order to reach our goal of winning the series."
