Coaches comments: Coaches comments:
Mike Policastro - "This is a big series for us, we have to come out & execute in all areas to have a chance this weekend. Coach Edwards will have Hiwassee
ready to play. It should be an exciting series. "		 Jerry Edwards - "This should be a great series.  Both teams are in need of wins and I expect both teams to compete extremely hard all weekend.  Cleveland will
be well coached. They will do all of the little things to win.  We must be able to do the same in order to compete with them. I hope we come ready to play, if we don't it could be a long weekend for the Tigers. We have yet to play a conference series hard all season."

Series Wrap-up - "Cleveland took an early lead and never looked back as they swept the Saturday doubleheader from the Tigers. The Cougars put up three runs in the first on two hits, two walks and a passed ball.  They added to the lead in the second with two more runs on one hit and two walks.  That
was all Zach Primm needed as he threw a complete game five hitter.  Once again we did not compete for the entire three games of a conference weekend.  Cleveland played hard all three games and we were fortunate to get away with one win. I said at the beginning of the series we had to compete and play hard all weekend in order to have a chance to win the series.  Cleveland played harder, competed harder and wanted it more than we did", said Jerry Edwards.
