You - going negative? I'm SHOCKED I tell you.

Well I predict (a series win, but not a sweep). Of course I have a one game advantage at this point...

Simple. They brought out their heavy bats. We poked singles. They got 5 innings of shutout relief from a Freshman. We wish we could get that from anyone. Gotta win this series tomorrow. Go Cats!
