Baseball update

So in my last blog I talked about how the we were preparing to take off to Jacksonville to play our first game. Well that seems like such a long time ago now. That may sound silly but the season seems to fly by so fast. So let me give you the update thus far of the team.

We started off really well we won our first two games in Jacksonville and looked like the team to beat out of the gate. Unfortunately that did not last very long and we then lost seven of our next nine. Turning us into the team that everybody beats. It was unbelievable how we just could not find a way to win. It was starting to get to everybody and we were all frustrated. Then we played Ball State to extra innings and while we lost it showed us that we are good and can play with anybody.

We then began our winning ways again. We have won six straight games including two big wins against Elon and NC State just this week. We have played really well only giving up only twenty-one runs in the last six games and scoring sixty-two runs on offense. We have done everything right so far and are back to our winning ways. I personally got to pitch against Elon at their place and I threw very well. I threw seven innings and struck out eight batters it was great feeling because they are a huge rival of ours.

I can not wait to get back on the field again this weekend when we play Rhode Island here in Wilmington. I encourage anybody in town to stop by I promise it will be worth it.
