Been a busy few days. We added a game against Colby the same day as our flight and added a DH against Medaille for when we got back up north (due to Oneonta being PPD'ed).
We added a pair of nice wins over Thomas to give us four straight. Ace tossed a complete-game in a 9-3 win. He had all three pitches working, and his personal catcher calling the shots -- Jake Nowak. They played together on the Lockport Buslines.
As he did Opening Day, Nowak caught the first game and pitched the second game of the doubleheader. Jake went all seven and gave us a 4-3 win.
Both seniors had a great trip. Jake has filled a lot of roles -- pitching, catching, shortstop and pinch hitter. Ace has shown to be a gamer. He was slowed the first two weeks of practice with various injuries, and missed a lot of team time with student teaching. Bottom line is he's our captain and will get the job done.
We added a nine-inning affair vs. Colby on Thursday. Down 4-0, we came back to take the lead. Every time we've been down this season, we've come back. Good sign. We've held a lead in every game except for the 3-0 loss to Plattsburgh.
One through nine, we've been very productive no easy outs. A lot of guys have earned playing time, but we can't get them all in at once.
Fitz was given his first start at the end of the trip and reached base twice and hit the ball hard. Freshman Carl Wolf threw solid innings against Colby and was in position for the win.
We wrapped up the week with a pair against Medaille. The Southcounty Kyles -- Morse and Gey -- split Game 1. No walks and looked sharp.
Game 2 saw Tommy Morris work three innings, leaving with a big lead. The Big Man and Huggy finished strong.
Freshman Quinn Danehy got his first career hit. He's taken advantage of a few opportunities.
After the game, we hurried back, showered and drove to the airport. Our flight was moved ahead 45 minutes and there was heavy traffic on the way to the airport. I hate traveling!
