INSIDE THE MATCHUP:

· Location: Ramirez Field | Fresno, Calif.
QUOTABLE:
· "This was particularly special because we haven't played them in 10 years, and we have a long history of a semi-rivalry with them. Their coach and I are great friends, and he always puts together a competitive team. We didn't know what to expect, but it was nice to see us come back from a tough loss a couple of days ago and improve on the things we've been working on. We will continue to make adjustments, but I was pleased with what we got off the bench today." – head coach
Jaime Ramirez
