Jed came in and pitched his best outing of the season," said Coach Rider. "One thing I have been stressing with our pitchers is to throw strikes and limit the walks. Jed threw five innings today and had only 1 walk. That gave us a chance to make plays on defense and stay on our toes." Cogswell started the game for Farwell.

"It is no secret that we have a young team, added Coach Rider. “ Today I looked out on the field and there were 7 freshman, one sophomore and a senior. The coaching staff has thrown a lot of information at them and we challenge them each day to be better than the day before. If they can keep this mindset they will be in a good spot down the road."
