This would be a game where the useless fake fan base that wants to call this game a loss even though we won; will probably be complaining except for the fact that we won.

The pitching wasn't great, but we did enough to get the win. Not every game has to be awesome or a blowout win. Sometimes we need a game that is considered a disaster until the end of the game. That is what this was. Maybe it's a wake up call to the team. We will see this weekend series with Miss St.
