Notes-I have to give my first error of the year to a fan, the fans in 115, first row, seat 15. He gets an error, for not getting the ball that rolled/bounced right next to the wall. He even had a glove on.


Sorry about not getting this story up before now, but after this game, the way the Cougars played I don't think you all would want me to break it all down, because i'm still very P.O.'d about the lack of being in the game.
