Solid team but should be able to take a couple from them if we play well. They have a solid ace in Campbell 6-1, 2.45, 68 Ks but no where near Small's caliber. Their #2 appears to be Wicklander who is OK, 3-1, 4.25, 58Ks. Their #3 has been a bit of an adventure. The one listed is Ramage who is 6-1, 4.75, 28Ks but has not started a game. Couple of other guys have 7 and 9 starts but pretty lofty ERAs and not a lot of decisions it appears they have basically had to pile up runs on sunday to win which to their credit they have done. On the offensive side they hit pretty well but no where near our numbers. They have nobody over .400 and five starters hitting below .300. We have two starters currently below .300 but they are Allen and Jordan who's BA still bear the effect of early season slumps but both are hitting well at the moment.

The X factor of course is playing on the road.

#2 pitcher

I think Conner Nolan's (sp?) has been the Saturday guy but he's kinda been sucking it up.
He played QB some for them last year too. He also sucked at QB.

Yeah I saw that. Noland has 10 appearances 9 starts but is 0-2....

Has an ERA around 6. Averages about 3 innings a start and apparently does not leave very many games with a lead. Got another guy Scroggins with 7 starts and a little better numbers. Looks like their three guys are Campbell, Noland, and Scroggins but they go to the pen with Ramage and Wicklander pretty quickly. Noland didn't record an out in his last start against vandy giving up 5 runs on 4 hits. Scroggins gave up 6 runs in 2 IP.

It think we will score some runs on their pitching staff at least on sat and sun. That is our key. We do have good pitching but have not been in many pitchers duels. We are 0-4 in games we score 2 runs or less. We are 27 and 2 in games we score 3 or more runs.
