Good start. Now lets take these series. ECU needs to improve pitching today and tighten up the D in the outfield.

Unforced errors cost us the game. Ole miss has some good hitters.

I'm not sure which ranking we're using, but I've always preferred to just use the one for each one of our teams that has them the highest. They don't mean anything anyway.

Coogs beat Wake 5-4 to complete the weekend sweep.
It's probably too early to tell, but it seems like we have a lot more pop in our lineup than last year. Grayson Padgett hit around .800 this weekend. Starting pitching will be great with Romero, Ullom, King, and Cumbie, and we have a great closer in Fletcher. If we can find a couple of dependable set up men, we're going to be pretty good.
