Thoughts from Coach Mayben
"Savannah did a great job in the circle for us in game one.  Pitching three complete games and a few closer innings in the first week of the season was impressive.  The offense made good adjustments in the sixth inning of game two after struggling through 12 innings.  I am proud of the resilience and attitude of this team."
