Weekend Series Preview: UNC

Weekend Series Preview:

On the road again. Right now I am posting as we're bussing down to Chapel Hill, NC to take on the UNC Tar Heels of the ACC. UNC is currently ranked #17 in the country and have a record of 8-1. Their lone loss came last week to fellow northeast school Seton Hall. Overall the Heels are a well rounded team and make little mistakes. They are hitting .313 as a team, led by Michael Levi and Frank Chaz both hitting over .500. Their pitching staff seems to split up innings throughout. Through the first 9 games the least appearances anyone has is 2 and most is 4 by 5 different pitchers. They're led by pitcher Patrick Johnson with a 1.42 ERA in 2 starts. Their most notable win this season came against Cal State Fullerton, who were ranked pre season top 10. Their most recent game was a win over Davidson 14-6 yesterday.

 

As a team we are coming off a solid weekend against FAU, taking 2 of 3 from the Owls. We played solid baseball making very few mistakes. Led by dominant pitching and timely hitting we were able to come home happy about the weekend, although we are always looking to improve. We need to continue to attack the zone as pitchers and make all the plays defensively, keeping the mistakes to a minimum. If we do that the offense will take care of itself. We feel if we do not beat ourselves we can stack up with anyone at anytime. Last weekend we had production from our rookies as well as our key returners, offensively and on the hill. If we get the production that we got last week and continue to improve we will compete and have a good chance to come out successful again this weekend.
