Thanks again to Saluki senior linebacker Bryce Notree for bringing his passion and energy to the show tonight, and getting us fired up for the Illinois State game this weekend.

Zac Westcott retired the first 19 batters he faced in Tuesday night's series opener against the West Division leading Florence Y'alls.  That performance led to a 5-1 victory.  Hear comments from both Westcott and skipper Mike Pinto after the game:
