Season opens this weekend with three game series at UNC-Charlotte. Games are at 4 PM Fri, 2PM Sat,
and noon on Sunday.
We have a seasoned starting lineup with five returning every day players of the eight and some up and both non-starter vets and talented frosh to fill the other three slots. Charley Gould at first base is an outstanding hitter with power and pre-season CAA POY. He may be a MLB draft choice in the first three/four rounds,
perhaps higher if his fielding improves.
We have two freshman catchers, both highly-rated recruits...one, at least, has to come through at the important catcher's position.
Key will be pitching depth, especially in the starting ranks. Brown, an outstanding starter, and Goulette (who
was stymied by injuries last season) a really overpowering reliever if he's healthy.
First home game is Wednesday, 2/24, with old CAA foe, George Mason, visiting at 4 PM. Then a home weekend series with Holy Cross at 4 PM Fri, 2 PM Sat, and 1 PM Sunday. If you've never been to a February
game at Plumeri bring a winter jacket no matter what the temperature...the wind is always blowing.
