Yesterday: The Spartans split their two games, losing 8-4 against Bluffton and winning 12-8 against Wabash. Bluffton’s bullpen impressed me in the first game. The Spartans had a 4-2 lead after 5 and as Bluffton kept scoring runs, I kept thinking the Spartans could easily come back, but they didn’t. The Wabash bullpen was equally [...]

Yesterday: The Spartans started the 2011 season off well, sweeping Averett University 8-7 and 8-2. As I mentioned yesterday on my Twitter feed (follow it, people!), the first game really should also have been 8-2, or at least 8-4 or 8-5. The Spartans had an 8-2 lead going into the seventh inning (as you may [...]
