[Abro1975]

0-0 After 2 innings. Bellissimo pitching well so far only giving up 2 singles, but RU is hitless so far.

 

[Abro1975]

RU up 4-3 going into top 5. Pitcher by committee today.

 

[80RU]

Harvard has a guy who is batting .500 and has a slugging percentage of .940. He has tripled twice today and singled in three times at bat. He has been involved in all of their 5 runs.

Parker Scott struck out the side swinging on 13 pitches his first inning. But he gave up two hits and a walk to four batters, including one of the triples, in the next inning.

RU up 4-3 going into top 5. Pitcher by committee today.

Based on his system at Seton Hall, I would expect pitching by committee for weekday games for the rest of the year.

 

[Abro1975]

RU now losing 7-4 w RU coming to bat in top 7.

RU on it's 5th pitcher already. Our top 3 in the order all have 3 hits, Nyzitor, Welsh and Dezzi.

 

[80RU]

Now 7-6 after 2 unearned runs without a hit In the top of the seventh.

 

[Abro1975]

Game over , RU loses 7-6.

They face 17-1 Indiana St the next 3 days in SW Fla.

Team stinks.

 

[80RU]

Team stinks.

But it might be the best D1 team in NJ -- if that is any consolation.

Surprised Maryland is not better

That is false. That RPI does not mean anything. Maryland would beat us 2 of 3 no problem and Seton Hall is better than us

Surprised Maryland is not better

Maryland was not a great program by any stretch. Ruters had a much better tradition. They went and hired a top notch coach and he started recruiting drafted players, many from nj, and they made a few super regionals.
