Following Ben Rice homering not once though twice Cam Schlittler dominating Spencer Jones Ben Rice, Cam Schlittler shared their thoughts by saying “He was nasty,” ( Spencer Jones referring to Cam Schlittler start)

Though,

Spencer Jones wasn’t the only player to share his thoughts as Ben Rice who homered not once though twice Cam Schlittler did as well by saying We love it,”We wouldn’t be here without [Hyde]. Just to have the confidence of being mid-round guys, having to work a little bit harder to get up here and embrace that together – it’s special.”  It definitely adds a cool little layer to it, and for Cam, too. It’s always fun playing against them.”

That’s pretty tough to beat,”Any time you can come through for the team in a playoff game, it feels pretty awesome.”I’ll remember getting a ‘W’ versus the Red Sox – there’s nothing better than thatCam going out there and just being lights-out, like he always is. It was an awesome night.”
