 Notes & Quotes
Sullivan pitcher Travis Florey goes the distance giving up 1 run on 2 hits. He also had 2 doubles and 3 RBI's on the offensive side.

Winning coach, Jerry Lane of Sullivan: "He pitched a solid game, as he has all year. I thought a few of the players were nervous, but because we have had great success in other sports this year, we got over the nerves very quick." Brad Tuttle- "We discussed taking Travis out from the fifth inning on, but he told us he was feeling good, so we left him in." Travis Florey- "The two runs in the first kind of put them back on their heels, I had good control and velocity. "


Losing coach, Ned Graham of Lewistown: "We got beat by the better team today. He was the best pitcher we have seen all year. We felt lucky they only got 2 runs in the first. I thought we had a goood chance. "
