7,

This is off topic, but last night on Channel 8, I saw a video clip of Octavius McCoys's NFL tryouts, showing him mainly doing sprints for the scouts.  Man, this guy looked absolutely RIPPED!!!  I have to believe he will be with some NFL team by beginning of next season.  Congrats to OM and WestConn on their football season last year, and Good Luck to Octavius in his tryouts!!

Back to ECSU baseball, below see is a nice video of SID Bob Molts interesting interview with Sr 2b Mike Vacarelli, discussing the 5-2 Florida trip, his impressions of the 2014 team and of Coach Matt LaBranche's style vs Coach Holowaty:

Brendon Lynch, Kyle Hart and Scullly each had 3 hits in the opener doing most of the damage. 

Dionne and Simpson pitched well in the second game giving up only 4 hits to ECSU in the 3-0 loss
