Norse get swept on the road by #19 Connors State ... "It was a very competitive series for use ... its unfortunate that we could not get out of there with a win or two, or all three for that matter ... we got walked off twice and lost a 6-4 for game ... we could have won all three games with one more key hit, one more key play or one more key pitch ... the boys have continued to improve each week and i'm sure they are frustrated with being so close but unable to get it done in the end ... one thing they continue to bring is an expectation to win, a never go away approach and faith in each other that we will find a way to get it done in the end ... " Coach Ward
