Quoting Head Coach Rob Reinstetle
"We took care of business today in a big way. After not playing well yesterday, we challenged our players to finish the weekend with the right focus. They did that. The bats were locked in today, hitting five home runs en route to scoring every inning. Even with all the offense, the highlight of the day was freshman Hayden Frey throwing a complete game in his first-ever start as a Rocket. He was simply outstanding."
