I can’t tell y’all how much better I feel about our chances to get to Omaha after the pitching the last two games.

I feel the same way. There has been some very encouraging things the last two days.

What still scares me is our bad defense can really let us down at key moments. Our defense rarely makes the extra play that helps the pitcher out, and many times, whether by defensive positioning or an actual error, we extend innings and gift base runners. The poor base running reared its ugly head yesterday as well. Not only do we not grab extra bases on the base paths, we some times run into outs helping the other team.
