Days like today are very humbling. After yesterday’s two victories, we were licking our chops at the prospective of a sweep. And even though we looked fairly good, we got beat in all areas of the game, allowing Puget Sound to salvage the Sunday game.
We made errors, got out-hit, and got out-pitched. It was as simple as that. Some days you play as well as we did and you win. Other days you play very well and you lose. But we can’t expect to seal a series sweep by just playing mediocre baseball.
Five series are behind us and we are 6-9 in conference. Now we are headed into the toughest part of our schedule, but also the portion we are most looking forward to. After two non-conference games over the next 8 days and a bye weekend, we hit the road for 2 of our last 3 series. On the road versus Linfield, at home for Senior weekend against George Fox, and up to Tacoma to finish the year against PLU.
Our bye week couldn’t come at a better time. It’s too bad we have not scheduled the full 40-games allowed, but now it’s looking like a good decision. Got some guys that need the extra days off and the recovery time to recharge and make the final sprint to finish our 2010 campaign.
