Prough liked what he saw out of Allen.

"I'm very pleased with his approach to the game plan tonight," Prough said. "This is a four game win streak for us. I'm very pleased, especially with the progress the freshmen are making. I'm pleased with how our team is collectively understanding the game. This is definitely a big boost for us, but there is still more work to be done."

"We had the lead the whole ball game and gave it up in the seventh, we have to figure out a way to win these kind of ball games. After getting pounded by Canton Monday night we bounced back well. We hit well in situations, we played well offensively tonight."

Sexton was happy with his pitching.

"Place and Thomason pitched really well for us tonight, I'm pleased with Thomason, when he came in the fifth with no outs, two runners already on, he got a strikeout, a fly ball and a strikeout against some good hitters for them. I'm pleased with him. He pitched a strong inning in the sixth, got the nine hitter out, the lead off reached on an error, the number two got a single and got three and four, that's pretty gutsy pitching out of a young kid. Unfortunately we made an error, gave up a hit and gave up the game in the seventh."
