Coach Pollock "It was really nice to see the boys get back to playing Buc Baseball today, we always want to be the ones applying the pressure and today we did that. We lost a tough one on Sunday, and didn't play our brand of baseball, so it was great to see the boys respond like they did today, to earn the sweep!"
