Arizona Western College head baseball coach John Stratton stated, “The last four doubleheaders, we’ve been the team that’s been close to sweeping, but we can’t seem to quite pull it off. Maybe if we can just do it one time, it’ll change the outlook on things, and get us on a roll. I’m very happy with the way we’re playing, but we’re just not making up the ground like I’d like to.”
