This team is a pitchers worst nightmare they could do some damage

Progress

Racers slug four home runs. Good start to postseason

Jax State goes 0-2 playing a half hour from their campus. Good, screw 'em..

Racers blow a 9th inning lead to Belmont and the season is over. We were 2 outs from advancing to the final day so the progress is evident. Just got to go find some PITCHING and improve on that ERA that was ranked 8th in the league.

Ran out of pitching. Hranec gave us a great game going 7 innings. Playing 4 games in 3 days is taxing for every team in the conference but having to come back and play the 2nd game today was tough.

The continued improvement is evident. While we lose some good players, we will be a better team next year with the returnees and the new kids coming in. As coach Moulder has said, rebuilding is a process and his plan is working. But you are right. We need more and better pitching overall but we are getting there!

Yeah, I gave a kind of over-simplified summary, I think. There were some fantastic performances on the mound, guys really stepped up when they had to. If our closer had been available for the Belmont game we probably would be playing today.

Thoughts?

I guess that's the advantage of being the higher seed...?
