Quotable
Head coach Ken Eriksen on the team's performance…
"I think they did well. I mean, they had some real good battles and some really good two-strike at bats which was evident with the two-strike home run by Fung, and the two-strike home run by Devitt. I thought that Macy Cook set the tone early by getting in the box and challenging Watson pretty good. When your pitcher is throwing the ball well like Georgina did well tonight, it gives the hitters an opportunity to get comfortable and I thought that was key."
 
Head coach Ken Erikson on Corrick's performance…
"For going on the road, first time at Tulsa against a really good team, that battled hard, I thought Georgina did really well. Any time you can go on the road win the first game of the series, you give your team some really good confidence."
