No. 22 Rutgers Baseball vs. Lafayette/Penn
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
An interesting point of comparison to the last team before Owens came. Mike Nyisztor had the best numbers of anyone in that 2019 lineup. This year, his numbers are almost identical to 2019. However, at this point in the season, those numbers now put him number 11 of 11 lineup players who have started at least six games for RU this year. This is an amazing turnaround. And you can spend all day pulling out little illustrations like this.
I looked up Penn's season to date, and the same team that we annihilated today, Lafayette, beat Penn in their home stadium, 9-3. It'll be another warm day tomorrow, ideal for hitting, so hopefully the bats stay hot and we put the Quakers away for a Quad 1 win before the weekend series with Indiana.
Looking at team stats, today's game could be a real slugfest. Both teams are hitting over .300 including 3 players batting over .400.
And that was the final score. 12 in a row for the Knights. Another weekend sweep would bring them to 30 victories on the season, with a lot of baseball still to be played.
Not sure about upsets. We could be favored in every series the rest of the way. Of course fortunes could change, but for now we are the hunted.
Entering the game, their RPI was 39, we were 37. Now we are 31 and they are 40.
No. 22 Baseball Beats Penn for 12th Straight Win
watching those highlights it looked like a lot small ball yesterday. seeing eye base hits and lots of good fundamentals rather than the long ball. very impressive the way this team is playing and winning the games where they are the better team.
Yup. Right now Maryland is the only team, B1G or OOC, ranked higher.

Indiana had an ambitious early season playing Clemson, Arkansas, and Stanford, losing all 5 of their games with these teams..
Having the Iowa and Maryland series at home gives us a severe advantage in the race for 1st place in the B1G. Got to at worst take 2 of 3 vs Indiana this weekend.
