ON THE RECORD
"Great night of baseball, winning the city championship again is always something we strive to do. Tonight was a well-played game by our guys,
Marcello Mastroianni gave us a great start with five strong innings, and he really kept them off balance. Scoring five in the second and seven in the third gave us a good cushion and I thought our bullpen was good,
Jordan Yoder came in a big spot with the bases loaded,
Kai Leckszas had a good inning and
Jack Volo the last two innings was awesome.
Christian Ficca had a fantastic night with five RBIs,
Marco Castillo had three hits and
Michael Eze's home run was great. It was a really good baseball game, played good defense and guys came off the bench and played well. Tonight was a good win for the Hoyas and we look forward to hitting the road for another conference series with Creighton." - Head Coach
Edwin Thompson
