We saw the capabilities of this team this past week when we play ball. We also saw on Sunday that we tend to run out of pitchers when stretched too far, and we also are not quite what we would like in terms of clutch hitting. However, despite the warts and with a little luck, this team could absolutely be a CWS team, and even take the NC. When a team gets momentum and start the positive thinking they can often perform well beyond expectations. I assume the Vandy game did not set us back as we played even until the end of the game. We beat three Top 7 teams and lost to the number 4 team in the country. If we play at that level we should be able to make our way through the regional and super-regional and on to the CWS.
We are now No. 25 in the country according to D1 Baseball and No. 29 in RPI.
