Pat Valaika came through strong last night and will be asked to do the same tonight. Third man in the rotation, Rob Zastryzny will be on the mound for the Speed who look to make it two in a row.
POST GAME THOUGHTS from owner Travis Thomas
A great win for our club tonight. Exciting game tonight with a win that we captured in the 6th inning. I'm proud of our team for hanging on tonight. When you watch our team you always get the slight suspicion that we're going to give it away with our relief pitching. Maybe that's just my nervousness throughout the game. Either way, we're above .500 in this young season.
