Our pitching is getting the job done.
It was great to our offense come alive today (although not surprising given the daytime start).
Offensively, our AVG is up to a season-high .268, with 5 batters hitting .299 or better, and 3 (Gray, Proctor, Warren) hitting over .340.
Defensively, our fielding percentage is at a season-high .975, and on the mound, in addition to our sparkling 2.57 ERA, our staff BAA is now at just .219.
Much needed sweep. Now riding a 5-game win streak (4-0 since the end of Finals) as we enter the final two weeks of the regular season. And with Salinas, Warren and Wunderlich back in action, we're almost back to full strength, with only Jackson Parthasarathy still MIA.
To win a share of the regular season conference championship and position us for hosting a regional we need to win at least 5 of our final 8 games (including at least 4 of 6 vs. FAU and LaTech). Won't be easy, and we'll need Willy Amador to return to form, but with our pitching and signs that our offense just might be coming of age, I think we can get it done. Go Owls!
