Quotes from Coach Gilliam on opening day:

"Opening day is always exciting. There is always a little something different in the air. We came out and hit the ball, had a lot of good innings on the mound and built some good energy moving forward."

"Luke Bogan getting hurt is tough. He is a gritty player and a great teammate. We are all hoping to get good news about his wrist."

"It is unfortunate we couldn't get all three games in due to weather, but we will work to build off of these two games and use it moving forward to next week when we head up to El Dorado, Arkansas to play a competitive weekend of baseball."
