Great to see a talented guy like Hunter have the confidence to pitch through a lead off hit but calm down and compete. That was HUGE going forward for Hunter because we all know that he has great stuff. Good job on that end.

Our lack of consistent hitting and putting pressure on the other team on a more consistent basis seems to be a problem. Guys need to get locked in and get it going. This program is very good so our expectations are high and should be. This should not consistently come down to how well our pitching and defense is and I see this as something that we need to focus on. Whether this is more of a focus on just driving the ball, scouting, or just being tough and finding a hole somewhere, this club needs to toughen up and start driving the ball.

It's great that we have 3 freshman weekend guys that are so good! It would be good to start supporting them as well. If our goal is a Regional, it has to start tomorrow. This program is at a level that you need to not be happy with wins but getting all 3 phases rolling. Let's hope for more run support tomorrow. And, I realize their guy was light out but this program expects more than 3 hits.

Two best things about this team are defense and Brooks Baldwin . Pitching has been shaky at best and the bullpen has been pathetic . Good win last night but when you get out hit 9-3 you have to lucky and they were . Several balls smoked by Hofstra were kept in by the wind in LF or it's a different game .
