"We knew coming into the series the Stanislaus would pitch it. We had to be patient and take advantage of opportunities.  Saturday night was a great pitching duel and breaks went their way. Proud of our team to come back from that on the road and take the next three. O'Connor was lights out and to see one of our younger arms Connor Batzer come in relief today and shut down their offense was big for our staff. It was a great weekend." – Head Coach Mike Nadeau
