Coach Ryan Encapera shared his thoughts on the series, "It was great to take 3 out of 4 from New Ken to stay in contention for a playoff spot. We had 4 huge innings in the 3 wins that elevated us to have momentum and win. Our goal for each game was to score as many runs as possible and collect outs 3 at a time. We swung it well in all 3 games, and had a ton of hits and even our outs were hard hit balls. Dylan Bohna had 3 home runs in the series and each of those fueled our guys with energy. AJ Segarra was a stopper on the mound coming in relief twice to shut them down and pick up two wins. Jorge Palmas had a solid outing to carry us to a win in game 3. By far the most memorable moment was SawDog's Walk off 3Run HR to win game 4. Sawyer works so hard to be a great hitter and to have him come thru in the clutch was a remarkable way to end the series. Our guys are so tough and show so much GRIT everyday and this series is an example that we are in the game until the last out."

Fayette is set to play tomorrow against Kent State Tuscarawas on the road.
