QUOTABLE
Infielder John Dempsey – "Our coaches got us in a good frame of mind coming off the first weekend of league play. We really wanted to reset after that weekend and obviously midweek games are huge in our program. We were ready to get after it. The first three innings were the most important and we really zoned in on that with a full team effort today."
 
UP NEXT
Wofford will continue Southern Conference play with a three-game series at Mercer beginning Friday night.
