Today we got 1 hit by La Salle in losing 1-0 after winning yesterday 11-1. La Salle was 7-20 and rated at # 270 in the country. This just keeps happening losing to mid majors and teams with pathetic records. Harry Rutkowski our star freshman pitched great for 8.1 innings but lost when a batter singled off our relief pitcher who came in with a guy on second in the ninth. How we could only get one hit the entire game baffles me. Their starter had a 1-1 record with a 4.81 ERA coming into the game. He lasted 6.1 innings. The relief pitcher shut us down big time and he came in with a 0-4 record and a 7.16 ERA. He struck out 5 in 2.2 innings of relief. The amazing thing is that in the bottom of the 9th three of our better hitters all took a called strike three. The announcers on WRSU could not believe that none of the three would swing at balls on the outside corner. They said the ump was calling these strikes all game long. We cannot make excuses again about this being a mid week game. We have our best 3 pitchers going this weekend yet our batters never showed up today. We have now lost to 2-7 Iona, 2-10 Princeton and 7-20 La Salle all at home. I just think that too often our kids are not focused enough. Just a few weeks ago we were rated at # 57 in the country. I think today we were now at # 115 before this loss.
