Akron Zips (4 game series)

END 2ND | Akron 3, WCU 0
Zips with a two-spot including a double with an error allowing the second run to score; Catamounts retired in order in the home half of the frame.

If all our games were 7 innings, WCU might would be ok, unfortunately, they are 9 innings.  Like last year, we don't have relief pitching that can carry us though the 8th and 9th innings.  I'm not sure that Beck knew how poor our relief pitching was, or maybe he could have done something about it in recruiting.  

I see another long year, as long as our starters can stay in we're in pretty good shape, after that, it's down hill, We just do no have a DI relief staff, not even close.  Yeah, we have a lot of guys that can play other positions... and pitch, but that's not what we need.
