QUOTABLE
Dalton Rhadans, Junior Pitcher - "It was a good win today. Playing two doubleheaders back-to-back is tough. We were prepared and stayed through it. We were able to score some runs in the second inning of the second game and kept them uncomfortable the entire game. Getting two more in the eighth enabled us to close it out. You can't argue with a series win taking three-of-four."
 
UP NEXT
Wofford will host UNC Asheville on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. before traveling to Jacksonville University for a weekend series beginning on Friday evening.
