Coach Witzke had this to say about the weekend "We played clean baseball across the board this weekend and it really showed at the plate and on the mound. It's great to see us find a new level to our game, especially this time of year, there's a sense of urgency that we have been missing. I'm excited to see how we respond heading into the final weeks of the season."
