A few thoughts:
1. Great crowd for opening day. As good as I can remember. Once it turned cold, though, it thinned out in a hurry.
2. Pilkington really looked promising for two trips through the order and then fell off a cliff. He stands to really rack up some Ks.
3. The bullpen gave you 5 2/3 scoreless to give you a chance to win the game. A.
4. Rooker misplayed a fly ball about as badly as you can misplay one. There was another mishap in the outfield between Rooker and Mangum on a ball that got to the fence. Didn't see exactly what happened, if it was miscommunication or one not backing the other up properly but it really can't happen with those two team leaders.
5. Pleased with where we are despite the loss. We were a clutch hit away from tying or taking the lead and had some late opportunities. We were a couple of ball bounces away from getting a great win. Hopefully we can get this one back on Sunday. Western Illinois should not pose a problem, if they do it may be freak out time.
6. The new scoreboard is great. I think we could stand to upgrade our replay cameras, because the video is not that great.
