Edwin Rodriguez Lake Elsinore Storm Manager: "That was a good first inning scoring 7 runs just to give pitcher Nick Margevicius confidence as he did his part as he pitched 6 strong innings tonight, if you come back with good pitching, defense, base running that is how you win games." " My outfielder Jorge Ona played solid today after making 2 defensive plays in the outfield along with my starting pitcher Nick Margevicius had changed speeds a bit and looked for his locations, sometime when the pitchers have that kind of lead, he handled everything well despite 2 innings where he had trouble on his locations but he focused on his responsibilities and did what he had to do."
