Tigers fall 10-8. Season ended earlier than we wanted, but what an incredible ride it was with this group. GPAC Regular Season and Tournament Champs, Regional Champs, and first ever trip to the NAIA World Series! So proud of these guys and everything they accomplished. #GoDoane
"Some coaches coach for a long, long time and they never make it (to the World Series). I'm extremely blessed."
