Really just poor decision from a veteran player. Seriously this is a college senior with no chance for good with a throw he can’t make.
Men on 1B & 3B / 1 out Purnell sits and #32 Fr RHP Smith comes in (1.50, 0-0, 6.0 IP) B/Kc/B/B/B - Harrison walks
St. Mary’s is a good team. Purnell has struggled on again off again for two years. This is not a surprise. We will be fine. Just have to hope Freshman mature quickly. Gamble with our staff and so many young arms as opposed to vets. Coppola could be a difference maker. All that being said, I think we are two pitchers away from being a very very good team
Nick Belmonte said Wednesday night at UCF game that StMary was a very seasoned senior laden team and excellent hitting team. No push over!
Smith sits and #34 Fr RHP Philpott comes in (2.13, 2-0, 12.2 IP) Men on 1B & 3B / 2 outs Gaels go for double steal. Throw to 2B & throw home. Player out at home 4/4/1/1 Gaels 6-4
Good points, and I'm not giving up on this team, but I'm also not basing my opinion/statement on one or two games. There's been enough evidence presented so far this season to warrant feeling nervous about this group as we get closer to conference play.
