Key Quote: “We’ve got to just play a clean baseball game. We’ve got to throw strikes as pitchers, we’ve got to field the ball when it’s hit to us and we’ve got to throw the ball accurately. If we do that, we’ll be in every ball game. If we don’t do it, we’re gonna give away games like we did in game one.” -Varsity head coach Mike Hansen

Up Next: The Bucs will hit the road today to battle West Ottawa for the third straight game.
