box score

Narch I dont think any of our bats have woken up yet either, all the nice stats or bad stats they are piling up now seem to make a change right around the time the conference games start up.

Any thoughts on Averett going 11-1 so far this season?

Not the toughest schedule but a decent start against teams they need to beat to get to the playoffs. Next week with 2 with CNU and 1 at VA Wesleyan will give you an indication how they might fare all season. They are probably the first 10 win team in D3baseball.

LC ventures down on Weds to play NCWC. Who are the guys to pay attention on for the Bishops? Ya'll were right on for the two to watch at G'boro.

NCWC · February 19, 2007, 05:35:55 PM

People to watch out for: Pecora, Smith, Williford, Wooten. You guys should see a young pitcher but i'm not to sure about that.

They know their schedule isn't that tough either. It is suprising though, they won 13 games last year and lost 27.

Thanks. From a dad and fan's perspective, a couple of players to watch for LC are LaBrie (SS); Crews (1B), and Grant (CF). Grant is a local kid that was drafted in 44th round by the Cardinals last year out of high school. Our whole team is young, with 4 freshmen starting (3B, LF, CF, DH). I have no idea who they'll be throwing, either. We don't have a conference weekend coming up, but have 3 games vs a pretty legit squad.

no disrespect meant to ncwc and catfish, but those 2 (maloney & burgess) are pretty easy to pick out

in the usasac they finished 1/2 in slugging %, 1/3 in tb's, 1/2 in hr's and 1/3 in rbi's - they're pretty much the biggest, scariest offensive duo in the conference...maybe in the south region, maybe in the country

the answer I gave him was who I was going to be scouting when I made my trip to see Greensboro vs. NCWC. They have no other guys on the team that I have seen that would be pro prospects. Unless one of the transfers turns out to be a pro prospect.

Battle of the Wesleyans today. This used to be my favorite game besides the Methodist games. Go Bishops.
Looks like VA Wesleyan will be throwing a combo of thier top two guys Chris Riveria and David Whigham. While it looks like we will be throwing our #4 or #5 guy since we have our conference weekend coming up. Can't remember who Coach Long said he was going to throw.
