Quick Quotes

"I was churning on the inside, without a doubt," said Marshall. "First batter coming in to face was Gomez with a guy in scoring position, so a little extra jacked up for that. I just made a couple good pitches and he got out and the next inning was more back to calmed down, back to the usual, getting ahead of guys and throwing strikes."
-Evan Marshall
"Overall, the guys hung in there," said Gibson. "We had some big hits tonight -- three home runs -- even though we haven't been hitting home runs. So it was good to see."
