Quote from Coach Holm on Headrick
"That was as good as Headrick has been all year. He's been setting the tone for us ever since we have gotten into conference. It takes a lot of pressure off the rest of your guys when a guy goes out there and does that. It is easier on the bullpen too."
Scoring Breakdown:
- Rave hit a solo home run to right field in the top of the third inning to put the Redbirds on the board, 1-0. That would be all the Redbirds need in order to secure the victory.
