"Today was a tought one to swallow.  As a team, we didn't compete well enough.  This group has competed all year long so that too was dissapointing.  I will go back to the drawing board to find ways to motivate this team to compete every moment, every pitch, every day, and every game," said Eagles head coach Joe Turgeon.
