The Devils have shown the Need for Speed, swiping third base four times on Saturday.
We played our first intersquads this weekend. Friday saw us squeeze out three innings in the rain before conditions forced us to adjust.
Big Cat Lawrence took home the Hammer for a pair of RBI knocks. Coach Greco had the team work on hitting the other way during the week, and Lawrence drove a couple of balls to the right side. All but one our our hits was the other way on Friday. Lawrence spoke of his motivation being the Florida trip and SUNYAC play this year.
Saturday we looked sharp all the way around. Pitchers pounded the strike zone, we ran the bases agressively and had many solid hitting performances. Some great D, too. Each pitcher threw around 50 pitches live, then went to the bullpen to simulate two more innings.
Evan Carmello took home the Hammer. He tossed 3 2/3 and threw under 40 pitches. He's back for his sophomore season, and made a nice improvement with his karate-chop curveball. Unfortunately, he was at the tennis courts covering our home match for me after his outing. Practice started late and ran long with Friday's shortened effort. We tried to have him make his speech via cellphone, but that did not pan out too well. We'll have him address the squad Wednesday.
