So, what is the worst start to a season that we’ve ever had that resulted in a CWS appearance? Last season comes to mind. I really think we will turn this around. Last season we were 10-16 after a loss to Xavier in early April.

Hopefully they can rally tonight and get a quality start tomorrow.

They have tough out of conference competition the next month so we should learn much about the team. Opponents are USC, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Miami, Campbell, Duke and North Carolina to name some.

Playing catchup now. This has been very discouraging and has also given me hope. Pulling out a game like this could do wonders. Here's hoping.

Man, how do you forget to tag home.

I mean yeah, 24 hits allowed, but another 9 walks and 2 HBPs. In 5 games started by the top 3. For the love of Enzo Stefanoni, find a strike thrower!
