COACH SCHMITZ QUOTE
"We did not execute in the three phases today. Andrew Abrahamowicz pitched a strong game, but our defense and offensive approach were not good enough today. We have a chance to bounce back tomorrow afternoon, and will need a complete team effort for nine innings in order to have a shot to win."
