Coach Gentry Quote:
"Chase did a great job with his first collegiate start. Another freshman, Rennie Arjona had a great day today going 4-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. We played a clean game with timely hitting and ran the bases well. It was a good team win with everyone contributing. I'm very proud of the way we played today."
