Coach Mueller: “Today was another tough ball game, just like all weekend. Runs were tough to come by. If you had told me we'd only give up four runs this weekend I probably would have said we were going to get a sweep, but unfortunately we were a little short today. Defensively we were good, and I thought John Clayton pitched great. Jack McClure came back and threw the ball outstanding in the last inning. UMass Lowell was just a little better today, and you have to tip your cap to them when they score one more run than you.”
