"Pitching was one thing we weren't worried about," Suder said. "We got five, six, seven kids who can throw the ball fairly decent."
Josh Mitchell hit two home runs and David Miner and Luther Davis each added homers against New Bedford.
"For us to hit the long ball like that is really unusual," Suder said. "It was pretty amazing, cause we're not a big power-hitting team."
