And sure most of them did well but we had one pitcher who had a meltdown that was pitching his first game this year. That first outing should have happened against Manhattan.

And no this isn't excusing the hitting. They choked. But they also had to work out of a 5-0 hole.
Not crazy about that either, and Black gifted Troy 2 runs with his wildness, but pitching is not the problem. 5 runs against Sun Belt pitching in 18 innings is the problem. So far, we face any decent pitching and we struggle to score including the Missouri State Friday pitcher. We did have 13 hits tonight but we couldn't even put the ball in play when we needed to late in the game. 5 runners on base with less than 2 outs in the 8th and 9th and we couldn't get anyone home.
