Struggling with control. Wasn't expecting that from what we had heard
Early in season. First start - he's battling.

That being said take those preseason "reports/hype" with a grain of salt ;)

Sort of kidding
You're 100% right about both of those statements.

4 good innings from DeRito and only gave up 1 run. Ethan Wilson pitched a scoreless 8th. 3-2 good guys in the bottom of the 8th. Need some insurance.

Pitching was lights out.
The guys are having fun.

2 hour and 45 minute game!

Apps win 5-2. Clutch hitting and pitching when it mattered. It's early but good to get a W opening day.

Good start to the weekend for Baseball, Softball and Tennis! A shout out to Coach Smith. Noticed that he was wearing #61 on his jersey. I am thinking that is in honor of Shawn Clark. Nicely done.

Brings a tear to my eye.
We should retire that number for all sports. Put it in the rafters.
Put it on the outfield fence.

Thought about this earlier.
Moquin Luft and Evans all started in the outfield last year.

This year we go Soul DuPont and Mummau.
I’m wondering if we did this to add speed on the basepaths. We’ve never really had speed.
Luft and Moq a tad slow. Evans can fly but is his bat as good as the other 3?

I miss us having speed on the bath paths. If all is equal at the plate, give the nod to
the guys that potentially can steal 2nd and 3rd. All 6 of those guys will get PT though.

UAB beats Florida.
Washington State travels to Tuscaloosa and beats Bama.

We’re doing a disservice to our student athletes by not playing a big time team early on in the year. There was nothing better than going on the road and beating LSU in a series with your brothers.

Pitching staff gave up only 2 runs.
Hopefully we see more of that over the weekend. Realize opponent may not be a baseball powerhouse. However, builds confidence.
