Coaches Comments:

"Hudson valley is a very talented team and you can't give them more than three outs in an inning. I thought we played pretty well overall but once again when you play teams of this caliber you have to play a complete game. We had our chances today but just couldn't capitalize. We just had some untimely fielding. We have to stay focused and play with urgency and continue to get better. We are 3-3 in the region so we are right in the thick of things early in the season. Our next game is Saturday against Tompkins Cortland and we look to get back on track."
