QUOTES
- "Last night was a really well played exhibition between two good ball clubs. I thought both teams did a good job pounding the zone and defending. We took better swings than the hit total showed, but I am very happy with how our young pitchers responded to their first true road environment. I really appreciate Coach Forbes and his staff for having us down." – Head coach Chris Pollard on the opportunity to play a road exhibition game at North Carolina.
