Man…this is starting to get me nervous. Came out of last weekend a solid national seed. We really need to figure out how to win this series. And right now Duke has all the momentum and starting Glauber hasn’t been the slam dunk we hoped.

Does Carolina not have a hitting instructor? Gavin is dropping his back shoulder worse than a girl on a slow pitch softball team. He's also not shifting his weight and is going down on his knee on a lot of swings and only using his arms. I see flaws in a few other players swings as well. If we don't have a hitting instructor we need to get one and if we do have one we need a new one.

Wierzbicki is the hitting coach

I think Weirz is the hitting coach. Gavin needs to spend some extra time with him. Something has to change.
