Rashi allowed one run and four hits in the game. He added, "I felt good. I feel like I got better as the game went along. I started off slow in the first inning, but as the game went along it got a lot easier and I got better."
Coach Nathan Fernley added, "I thought it was good game. Rashi was really tough today. They got four hits off of him and two of them were just balls that found their way into the outfield. I think he is the story of this game."
