We hit for a team average of .361 in this last game, and lost. Double elimination is just too hard on teams. What on earth would we have done if we won?

I think we lose 15 from this team. Time to reload. I hadn't at the numbers yet, but; ouch... I didn't think it was that high.

There was an article entitled senior day and it lists 15 seniors. Go to acusports.com--then baseball--scroll down to the game on senior day and see the names listed.

Sam is killing UVU. It is 14-0 in the top of the SECOND inning, and Sam is still batting.

This is weird to say but I admit that watching us play Sam and seeing the difference physically in the batters box was noticeable. Maybe it’s because we have a handful of young players…but most of the lineup that stepped in for them looked physically mature and ready to hit. For us we have three seniors in Tweedt, Ladasau, and Tatrow and then the big junior in Britt that carry that same weight, but I did not look at the rest of our lineup the same way. Now I know that’s not what baseball is all about, the eye test doesn’t always matter in sport, but it was noticeable and clearly that lineup is potent.

Sam came to the plate over and over believing they were going to hammer the ball. You could just see it. They are an offensive minded club, not one looking to not swing on a ball an inch off the plate. We tend to try to avoid swinging at questionable pitches, they tend to attack them. We are pretty good at hitting pitches where they are thrown, meaning we don't try to pull everything, but Sam just wants solid contact.
