Quote of the Day:
"They [players] feel no pressure in these one run games and do enough to keep winning which if fine…These one runs games are against good opponents too, so any time you are in these type of games and pull them out is always good. As you get in conference tournament and hopefully beyond that these games get closer and tighter. Its about managing the game in terms of being comical and collective through the nine innings…. They [players] have been fantastic about it, they don't panic and they keep plotting along and doing their thing….This is all based on the fact that we've pitched really well."
- Coach McCormack, commenting on the Owls holding a 10-3 record in one run games this season.
