FINAL WORDS FROM COACH GODWIN
"I thought Price King pitched well. He gave us a chance to win by throwing up zeros. That's all we ask relievers to do so I thought he was outstanding. The game of baseball got us tonight. They bunched some flares together and a couple of hits here and there, but I thought our kids played well."
