Kind of embarrassing for UNC Girls to beat up on the Cats like this.

It's not "kind of embarrassing" it's damn embarrassing to be losing to the Spartans like this.

Cats have made 4 errors, giving up 10 hits and now 11 runs through 6 innings.

I think anyone can forget about any chances of a regular season championship. Can't pitch, or field the ball.

I can understand with all the kids that are hurt being a factor but why are they getting hurt is the question. Are they throwing too much in the cold weather before the season starts (seems to be all arm issues)? Why are there so many errors? Are they not working on fundamentals? I am not knocking any current player but maybe what we are seeing is a drop off in talent or does coaching have something to do with it (don't won't to go there yet). You have to admit for the last two years, those graduating classes were collectively very good and on talent alone was able to win games and bounce back from being down. I know it is early in the season but it will be interesting to see if the kids rebound and can when despite some hurdles to overcome. I hope the boys on this year's team can pull it together quickly and overcome adversity. Otherwise, it will be a long season and no joy in Cullowhee.

Cats make their 6th error of the series in the bottom of the 1st inning. The error allows a UNCG run to cross the plate.

Score 3-1 WCU
