Coach’s quote: “On a day where our usual contributors struggled a bit, it was nice to see the bottom of the order produce. Liam pitched a great game, no walks and 10 strikeouts are a recipe for success. He’s limited pitching mistakes all season and we benefit from his presence on the mound.” – Belmont’s Matt LeBlanc
