 "I cant say enough about the game that Caleb gave us tonight" said Mustangs coach, Ryan Palmer. "We probably elevated his pitch count a little more then we would have liked. But it was his game to win. SM is a powerhouse in our conference who are very well coached. Coming away with a win tonight feels pretty good. I am happy for the boys. They deserve it."
