Head Coach Billy Cather had this to say about the win, "I am really proud of the way our guys battled against a tough conference opponent and picked up the series win. Tom Muratore worked around some early trouble and gave us the quality start we needed. Offensively Ryan Pumphret has been our MVP all season long and today he showed why he's one of the best power hitters in the league with the grand slam on a really tough day to hit.
