“We had exceptional pitching performances from Andrew Karp,” head coach Mike Martin said. “He pitched beautifully. Just dominated the other club. CJ Van Eyk gave us exactly what we need, which was five good innings.
“The big thing about today – we got after it, played hard, played the game right. Always difficult to win two ball games. Now we have to come out tomorrow and play well.”
