"We knew it was going to be a tough game for us on the mound ... with a 4 game conference series with Seminole coming up on the weekend we were in a situation where we needed to piece together the game vs Crowder ... we got a great start out of "Big Bird" Kender Carroll who gave us a solid 5 inning start but our ability to pitch the 6th through the 9th was what defined the game ..."

RW20

Offense:
Freshman Outfielder Jacob Ervin led the Norse "O" with a 2 for 4 day with an RBI ...
