We've been talking about the Plattsburgh series with the players for a couple weeks. Last year, we won the opener and dropped the next two. We were focused on paying them back this year. We won two of three, but like any SUNYAC game, it was a tough battle. In both our wins, they got the tieing run to the plate in the final inning.
The big story was Huggy tossing a nifty gem. He tossed a six-hit shutout. He did not allow a runner past second base. Huggy is a battler and went right after the hitters allowing one walk. Fundamentals. Defense was solid and execution was solid when we needed it. However, we will be back working on bunting on Monday morning.
We gave the Hammer for the series to Erik Krohl. Erik played a solid shortstop and gives our pitcher's confidence.
We are headed to see the Nationals play on Sunday vs. the Braves. The game will be preceded by a tour of the complex and we will also get the buffet spread during the game. Off days are a lot better when we win.
Perhaps the best part of the trip, though, is getting to see Tommy Dee (class of 2011). Tommy calls Florida home these days, and has made his sixth trip with us.
