I’m really high on his potential, I think he could quickly become a middle of the order presence

Lots to work on but a nice series win after last weekend (albeit against a reeling Wildcat squad).

6-4 (12)
4-0
4-5
11-2

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Woohoo! Huskies win the series. By the end of the season, hopefully AZ lives up to expectations and these are quality wins.

I really don’t have a clue about us coming off this road trip. Is the pitching as God awful as it looked the first 4 games or as outstanding as it looked against UofA? No clue. Let’s see what next week brings.

 

[Rdkid]

Winning 3 of 4 at AZ without your best player bodes well. Lots of winnable series ahead if the starting pitching is for real. I think it is. 5 out of 8 starts have been good.
