Postgame Thoughts from head coach Ben Orloff
"It was fun to see. Two grand slams in an inning and three in a game is unheard of, but I think it's great the success of so many guys on the team. Frankie and Stinny specifically today those guys coming in and having a big impact on the game, it was really cool to see."

"As much as this schedule was not ideal, it was really good in the fact that we knew it was going to take a full roster to get through the weekend. With us getting ready to start conference, and even the few weeks we've played we see injuries happen, so for us to get a look at so many different guys on the roster and for them to get to play in a competitive environment, that was huge for us."
