As my dad always says. A W is a W no matter how you get it.

After the start he had, Marc Stewart settled in for a nice first weekend start. MTSU came out swinging. Every ball was hit hard. Out fielders were tested. But as most good teams do, we slowly chipped away to take the win. So true. A W is a W. Move on to Saturday's game
