Team: 43/149 .288 + 21 BB, 9 HBP, 44 K, .407 OBP, 32 Runs Scored

Very poor batting average, but managed to score 32 runs in 4 games due to playing against average teams who are midweek game caliber for an SEC team. Hard to have 5 starts batting under .300 for the series, especially when one is supposed to be your 2nd best overall player and a top 10 draft pick.

The total team numbers almost perfectly mimic our full season averages of .289 AVG and .404 OBP.


Pitching Stats (whole staff combined)

36 innings - 164 batters faced - 43 hits allowed - 33 runs allowed (30 earned) - 17 BB - 3 HBP - 39 K - .298 avg allowed - .384 OBP allowed - 7.50 ERA

For a SEC staff to allow those kind of numbers to an ASUN team and a CUSA team (x3) team over the course of 4 games is embarrassing. No reason to average 8 runs per game against those teams and go 2-2 and require late game miracles to do so. Trailed in the 8th inning of all 4 games.

We can be mad at the offense all we want for not coming through last night or today when there were opportunities, having stretches of completely awful at bats, or whatever...but long story short, Scoring 8 runs per game should not lose you any games against that competition...much less lose you two games. the 8-4 loss last night? Okay maybe they could've helped out a bit more...but there's no reason for games to even be close when we score 14, 7, and 7 in the other 3.
