A really good season. Only second year of new staff makes it even better. A large number of games decided by only one run. Including all three in the super regional.
I often use the following link to follow the ups and downs of various teams in the rankings during the season. Aggies did well. Hard to translate what it means for next year's preseason ranking.

A reminder of the incoming freshmen:

At least three of the pitchers have really good hitting stats. Do not remember which one but one of them had only 1 strikeout all season (at the plate). Wonder if Coach Ford will consider a pitcher also hitting (think Ava Brown)? Taylor Brown has great pitching and hitting stats as a P and 1B dual-threat.
Hmmm, season barely over and already thinking of Fall Ball and next Spring - can't help it!
