ON THE RECORD
"What a night, it has been a while since we have had the opportunity to play here at home but the energy at Capital One Park has been fantastic this season. We can't thank all of our fans enough for all of their support in our new home this year. Getting our 30th win of the season here tonight against a really good team means the world to us. I thought our bullpen did an unbelievable job with Cody Jensen, Andrew Citron, Marshall Whitmer and Nick Davis. Offensively, Joe Hollerbach was fantastic with two home runs and five RBIs on the night. Owen Carapellotti had the big home run to start the game and Kavi Caster had another deep shot as well. The home run that was the biggest was Andrew Bergeron's later in the game. He had a really good swing on the pitch and was able to help us separate when we needed to the most. I am really proud of our group and we look forward to another BIG EAST series against Xavier this weekend." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson
