They are #14 in the SEC in BA, highest number of Ks but #1 in doubles and #3 in HR. Translation is they don't connect with the ball that often but when they do they do it tends to travel a ways.

I think the key is to limit the freebies. Cannot have walks, HPB, and dropped strike 3 on base when they run one out of the park.

I think they're similar to Vandy - very HR dependent and their scoring will be in spurts. Limit the freebies and make them earn every run and we should take the series.

They are last in doubles (38). We are first with 66. They are 3rd in HR with 46, but over half of those come from 2 guys. Bissetta has 14 and Utermark has 10. No one else has over 5. So, basically limit those two guys and they will struggle to score runs.
