Coach Jim LeProwse stated, “I am really pleased with our pitchers and our defense. Miles came into this series with us nationally ranked in numerous offensive categories and we did a great job of slowing that all down. Our pitchers only gave up 7 runs in the four games series. We also did a great job of limiting their base running opportunities. Offensively we scored 29 runs and hit 11 home runs in the four games and that is great also.”
