Just maybe Ferrum is another surprise this year in the USA-South?  The perception is that they have two legit starters on the mound.

I sure hope so.  I'm new to college baseball and the USA South, but on paper Ferrum seems young to me.  With only 12 conference games, every game is important.  (Is that stating the obvious or what?)  Like I said, I'm new and it's all exciting to me.

I have to agree, what a great job by Mays pitching Monday.  I followed the game on the internet, and it seemed like a good game with no errors (compared to 3 by each team Sunday) with ALOT of flyballs by CNU to the outfield.  Of course I couldn't tell how deep they were from the internet, but I'm glad they were of the 375-390 ft. variety.  I was surprised to see so many strikeouts looking (10).  I don't know if this is unusual, but it did seem high to me compared to Sunday's game.     

Hey guys, brand new to the board.  I am the parent of a Ferrum College baseball player.  (I just wanted to be honest and get that out in the open)  I have only seen a few games this year, but I am very impressed with the level of talent in the USAC (and the ODAC as well).  I was at the Roanoke/Ferrum game at Averett.  I believe that either team could have come away with the win.  Please don't take that as a slight to Roanoke.  It was a good game that came down to the bottom of the 9th and Ferrum fell short.  Roanoke did a good job with clutch hitting and they're pitcher's kept runners off the bases in the later innings.  I don't think any team can (or does, really) take anyone on the schedule lightly.  In the USAC, you never know what type of game you'll see.  The 1st game of the series could be a pitcher's duel with very few hits/runs, and the 2nd game could be a slugfest with both teams scoring in the double digits.  I know Ferrum did well this week in Florida, but I see the teams they played do not have winning records.  Win or lose, I just love watching well played, well coached baseball.  With the clear weather this weekend (finally), it looks like Ferrum will get the games in against CNU.
