Coach Brooks' Comments:
"What an unbelievable game. So many players made huge contributions for us to get the win. Childers and Moseley out of the bullpen. Seginowich with the home run to tie it. Mendoza to answer back after they extended the lead. Brad with the home run to get us back. Then Josh with a hustle double and great read of the ball in the dirt to set up Walters' walk off. Just a magnificent effort by the team. Very proud."
