Look at Candy falling back after the run they had- they are about to have a losing record in the SEC this year. After playing us for the Natty- they havent made it out of a Regional and are struggling.

Bottom line- Lemon responded this season like he had to. Let's finish this one strong hopefully and get ready for 2025.
And let’s not forget McCleod was a real SEC ace too. Until the end of the year anyway. There was a lot of quality talent on that team. I’m not sure you could’ve scraped enough money together to keep the pitchers AND Tanner Allen, Rowdey Jordan, and Logan Tanner
