Chants go in order in the top of the eighth.

That’s a nice win. Four really good innings to finish.

I was one of them especially after getting down 6-0. This team always fights though, been a fun last couple years. Need to get at least 1 win tomorrow!

I don’t know how deep their bullpen is, but we only used two pitchers today.

Great win guys! Should rattle the conference seeing that. Need starters to hang on tomorrow and let the bats continue to tree balls.
Who said we were getting mercy ruled all weekend?

We had some crazy good at bats today. I think Quintero had a 16 pitch AB and laced a double. Doing that will force them to the pen quick! I think tomorrow is still 2, 9 inning games. Should be an excellent crowd again.

Humbly asking for forgiveness. You have to admit the prospects were not good. Great game boys!!

Any numbers on attendance for today? The hill down RF looked pretty crowded.

The win today and better weather should warrant more attendance tomorrow.

I’ll admit I thought coastal might score 70 over the weekend. I’m really impressed and happy for this team! Get SOME pitching and they can be good .

It’s part pitching but I think a key here is that we lost our pitching coach a few months before the season. Some of these calls coming from the dugout are interesting in the Wilson starts. Going back to Winthrop, he sits 94-95 and can touch 97, but we’re calling mid to outside fastballs? Kids can be late on it and hit oppo homers or flick it in the gap for doubles. 94-95 need to pound inside!! I think pitch calling is improving but no reason Wilson shouldn’t be dominant with his velo and offspeed stuff.

Agreed, inside pitching is key at any level.

On the other side, our guys aren’t backed off from it. Look at all the hit batters we’re getting on. Need to keep working on getting them home.

Finish strong tomorrow guys!

I think the weather played a big part in this game. It was f’ing cold. It was in the low 40s, damp and the wind was howling.

We moved up 23 spots in RPI after yesterday! 68th overall now. 1 more win today would be excellent.

The Sun Belt has 8 in the top 70, wow. This conference is stacked for baseball.
