Watched most of all of the 3 games from Lexington on the computer.

Friday - Pitching was pitiful in terms of Walks. We were extremely fortunate that VMI never got a hit after we walked the bases loaded. They left the bases loaded in 4 innings. We gave up few hits, so the pitching was doing something right.
We brought out the big bats. Good offensive show.

Sunday Game 1 - Good offensive show continued. Our pitching was quite satisfactory, although VMI finally got their bats going n the middle innings. They came into the weekend as one of the HR leading teams in the SoCon.

Sunday Game 2 - Our offensive show continued. VMI's very porous defense put them in a big hole early. (Christmas came early.) However, their bats got really warmed up and, aided by some of our errors, got them back into the game (10-10 tie after 6 innings).
B J Nobles did a fine job shutting them down in the final 3 innings.

We have swept two SoCon series ON THE ROAD ! That is a tremendous accomplishment.

Anytime you can sweep a series on the road it is great but pitching is still hard to watch.
