Re: LeClair Classic/ECU/Greenville
Agreed. Beating the Pirates would be a nice statement win for Kermit's Apps. Not only a road victory over an in-state top 25, the boys would come home above .500 after the first road stint.goapps93 wrote:Gonna be a tough one on Sunday. That stadium is a different place when it's full of Pirate fans.

Apps lose 4-0.
Got a good outing from our starter. Offense could only muster two hits.

Re: LeClair Classic/ECU/Greenville
ECU starter pitched well too. Went about two batters too long with our starter who pitched well. Brill's surgery appears to have been a success. Love seeing the 95 mile an hour fastball. Need to get the sticks going.
WE ARE YOSEF!

I never count moral victories, but that said, this would've been 12-0 last year. I'd much rather be waiting for our bats to come around than our arms.

Re: LeClair Classic/ECU/Greenville
Was looking forward to seeing the home game on Tuesday, but the weather looks like a pretty certain rainout.

Walks and a bloop single did us in in the 7th, otherwise our pitching and defense played well enough to beat a ranked team. We held our own against 2 ranked teams and beat a team that took down Coastal. Things are trending up.

Re: LeClair Classic/ECU/Greenville
We're in the middle of a stretch of eight-straight games against top-100 teams. It continues Tuesday when we play our first home game, against No. 90 UNC-Asheville, and ends with a weekend series in Columbia, Mo., against No. 87 Missouri. Not only is it exciting to see us show so much improvement in such a short length of time (we're currently No. 122 in RPI), but also we're doing it while playing a challenging schedule (No. 140 in strength of schedule). Go Apps!

Yup, exactly. I was at the game yesterday and when it was 1-0 in the 6th I told Pirate fans I was with that I was already chalking this one up to a moral victory as last year it probably would have been a slaughtering.
Watts did a very good job at keeping them off balance, was left in just a tad too long (came back to bite us against UNCW as well), and Brill looked very good out of the pen. I will say some of our guys just looked over matched by Trey Benton at the dish, I don't know if that's something that will change vastly in the course of a season.
Speaking of Trey Benton (ECUs starter on Sunday) damn it must be nice to recruit kids who come in throwing 93 as a true Frosh. That kid is a stud and he showed it yesterday. Overall, not a bad weekend for the Neers.
