SLU, Clarkson: Tuning Up for SUNYAC Schedule


We ran our winning streak to 18 games (with an 11-4 win at Saint Lawrence) with great pitching performances from starter Marc Plante who got the win, and from reliever Tyler Greene who got a rare four inning save. Our hitters were better today but still not at our best. It was good to see us improve and stay strong in a couple of aspects. We ran the bases better, put a team away when we needed to, and did that by again capitalizing on our opponent’s mistakes.

We still have not played a game at home yet, and to be this good on the road really feels good. Pat Shaughnessy (pictured) has been our best hitter in the last few games, adding another three hits against the Saints. We’re the (type of) team right now that can take a guy off the bench and plug into our lineup to fill that role well on any given day. Greg Larnerd was that guy yesterday, picking up an RBI single early in the game.

We’re still waiting to get back to our hitting that we had earlier in the season and hopefully we’ll get that today in our double header against Clarkson. This is our final tune-up before we turn to SUNYAC play on the weekend, and we want to put together a strong outing worth of at bats, innings on the mound, and defense in the field.
