1. We saw a team, who didn't have a great day at the plate, do what they needed on the mound and in the field to win vs. a ranked in-state opponent. I am not sure that would habe happened last season. Pratt had thr lone error and he has earned a get out of jail free card.
2. Urban has earned his position in CF. He plays plus defense and has a much better bat than Cook. Cook is really good and his speed gives Oss options in the field and on the bases.
3. Pitching was dominant. That State team can hit and they were shut down by USM arms. Payne in finally healthy and looks like an old school closer. Och setting him up will make for a fun 8th and 9th going forward.
4. Big measuring stick gane this weekend hosting LA Tech. The team is mature enough amd has the leadership in place to understand this. As good as the starters were this past weekend, they will need.to be even better going forward.
5. Best having arm issues last night is concerning, but there is more than enough pieces in place to fill his role. Hope it is just a nerve issue amd nothing more serious.
Is there anything I missed? Please comment below.
