It seemed inevitable this team would start to fall...

Our pitching was decimated before we ever got started, and we had to rely on kids who probably never figured they would see the mound mid week much less on SEC weekends. Rooker was on fire for a very long time until teams began pitching around him. After his slump during which we were able to continue winning it almost seemed miraculous. On top of that Jake and Hunter fracture their hands. Rooker became more patient and we win more. However, our pitching just could not hold up. The season is long and takes a toll. Then LSU comes into town with pitching as deep as my best fishing hole with real hitters throughout its lineup. After losing 10 to the draft and 6 or 8 to injury this has been a remarkable season. I salute all the guys for competing their butts off every time they went onto the field.
