Go DiamondHawks!!!

After a 1-2-3 inning for Monroe, Casey Golden gets things going for the Hawks with a 2-run homer in the first!

Richmond's bats come alive after 3 hitless innings, tied at 2 in the 4th. On offense, 2 pickoffs and a caught stealing have cost us 2+ runs so far.

are you there SN08? its gotta be freezing

I'm in the press box luckily, haha.

Gavin Stupiensky, manning the cleanup spot, delivers a big 2-run single! 4-2 in the 5th, Hawks still batting

And now Dick with a 2 run double!

Thanks for the updates. Almost done at work.

Ramsey entered for Monroe in the 6th and is in his 2nd inning of duty. Looking very sharp, As he has in practice as well.

Seahawks up 7-2. Through 7 innings Monroe and Ramsey have combined for 10 strikeouts.

Ramsey, with 4 K's, begins his 3rd inning of work.

Ramsey with another perfect inning, with 2 K's. He's just mowing them down now. He'd have gone 9 up 9 down if Linkous didn't drop a fly ball. Very impressive.

Ramsey in there for the save. He finally gave up his first hit but is just 1 out away.

Hawks win! Ramsey the clear player of the game today. 4 innings, 0 runs, 1 hit, 8 K's and no walks to earn the save. Monroe was solid as well to earn the W. 3 Seahawks with 2 RBI apiece. Impressive start to the season!

Great start to the season for our offense. Any other games of interest finish up around the league yet?

Yep.

Nearly a perfect day for the CAA. W&M with the only loss thus far, a 9-4 setback to Ole Miss.

Way to screw it up WM.

Time to go over to the "Waste Management" boards and let them have it...

I'll return later.

I heard they were better than us. Way to let the caa down, especially after the lecture we got

Good win today, but let's not get crazy. Our Ace is now spent for Sat. Let's hope that we can get the game come Sat!
