Quoting Head Coach Rob Reinstetle
"Baseball is a cruel game sometimes. We outplayed them for 8.5 innings. Unfortunately, the top of the fourth was enough to sink us today. Giving up nine runs in one inning is hard to overcome. We had some chances to claw our way back into it, we just couldn't get that big hit. I thought we hit the ball fine, a lot of hard-hit balls right at them. Braden Curry was awesome today and gave us a chance to mount a comeback. As I told the team, we turn attention and sole focus to this weekend at Western Michigan. We need to play well and keep our ground at the top of the standings."
