WORDS FROM THE SKIPPER
After Saturday's game, Head Coach Bobby Applegate said, "Solid team win today. Got solid contributions from several players offensively. We came out aggressively right out of the gate. We took the lead in the first and the boys did a great job of tacking on. We were fortunate to get quite a few players in and play error free baseball. We still have a few things to improve on but are pleased with our progress so far."

UP NEXT FOR THE PACK
The ThunderWolves conclude their weekend in Arizona tomorrow afternoon, with a 1:00 pm date with Wayne State College at Kino Sports Complex. The Pack opened the 2025 on Friday with a 10-9 win.
