Quotable:
Mt. SAC coach, John Knott: “The last three games were a group effort. Several guys contributed and stepped up when needed. Brent Cota and Will Bermudez we’re exceptional throughout the series and our pitching each game was very consistent. It was great to see Alec Beck set the tone and pound the strike zone. He mixed his pitches and our defense played well behind him.”
