\u201cThere is not much time to prepare in between games, we had to rely on our mental toughness,\u201d said Coach Casey Crook when asked on how he prepared the team for the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to be a big contribution for the team whether it\u2019s batting or pitching,\u201d said LBCC pitcher Max Ghiglieri when asked about his performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the seventh inning with two bases occupied by players Stephens and Mingo, LBCC third baseman Desai hit his second home run of the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just had to find my timing,\u201d said Desai when asked about his performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the eighth inning, pitcher Ghiglieri hit an RBI which brought in right fielder Ryan Lopetegui and center fielder Danny Rodriguez to score two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the ninth inning the Vikings managed to finish the game without scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
