Post game comments from head coach Tyler Snyder, "We started off slow, being down 4-0 in the top of the first. The guys fought back slowly and started putting the ball in play. They made some errors and we capitalized on them. Very proud of they played together and everyone was in to the game. No one was down after we had a 5 run lead and allowed 3 in the top of the next inning. We settled down and closed out the game."
Next game is Tuesday at home. The JV Jackets are 2-2 overall and 2-0 in conference
