Tough day for Methodist. Britt had a rough day and hitters were cold all day. The number #2 starter for methodist could be a problem for them this year.

Four games this weekend will really tell us where MU is. they will have to deep into their pitching staff to cover all of the innings. The good news is the temps for the weekend should be in the 60's. Starting to feel like baseball weather.

White picks up the win. Nice work by all, several freshman looked good.

Methodist snowed out today, tentatively scheduled a double header for tomorrow.

Double header tomorrow in Fayettville with Methodist Univ. Dress warm temps in the mid forties.

There is nothing cheap about good baseball gear anymore. Top of the line gloves can run in the hundreds, bats can run over 400. Warm weather, cold weather, sliding gear, cleats etc... can lots more to the cost.

While the freshman arms saw limited action there appears to be something to be encouraged about.

Methodist wins their second in a row. 6-1 over Lagrange. Good pitching performance by the staff. Britt went six innings and gave up one run. White got the win and pitched two. Markley closed the 9th and gave not runs. Lancaster was 3 for 4. Such was 2 for 4 and Younger had two hits.

Weather is causing some schedule adjustments. Here a post on the MU site:

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The Methodist baseball team has adjusted their schedule for the next two weekends and fans should take note to plan accordingly.

This weekend, the Monarchs will kick off the 2010 campaign at LaGrange College, but the games have been pushed back a day to Sunday and Monday at 1 p.m.

Next weekend, Methodist was originally scheduled to play in the ODAC/USA South Challenge hosted by Randolph-Macon, but due to heavy winter weather in the area, the tournament has been split up amongst a number of sites. The Monarchs will host Bridgewater College in a three-game series at Armstrong-Shelley Field beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 12 p.m. The final game will take place Sunday, Feb. 14 at 1 p.m.

For MU they  open this week at LaGrange weather looks good, mid fifties and sunny.

Looking at the roster the freshman will have to really step it up on the mound. The catcher spot will also be interesting, I understand they are trying to convert a player to that position. This site list stats for many of the north carolina players last year: http://ncpreps.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=959669

One week until MU plays their first game. Several teams have posted 2010 rosters. Any surprises on these rosters?

Any word on freshman who might make an impact this year?
