After 8 conference games, our record stands at 1-7 (8-13 overall). Although this may seem like we're not playing good baseball, for the most part that's not the case. Our first series against La Crosse was pretty rough. We didn't make the plays defensively and handed them a lot of runs with two outs. We hit the ball pretty well but not at the right times to score runs. Our pitching did a good job of getting ground balls and fly balls but we just didn't make the plays and ended up losing all four games.
We just played Platteville on Thursday and Friday before Easter. We played much better baseball in that series but where we did well just a week before, we fell short in. We lost 2-1 in 11 innings in the first game. We had plenty of chances to score runs but we didn't capitalize and come through in the clutch. Justin Saufley went 10+ innings without giving up a run and deserved to win. In the second game, we did win 2-0 but failed to execute with runners on base. It shouldn't have been as close as it was. The third and fourth games of the series were pretty much the same story, losing 3-0 and 5-4 in 10 innings. There were chances to score but we didn't take control of the game like you have to do if you want to be a winning baseball team. We have to hit with guys on base, period. Hopefully we find it before our next series versus Whitewater. If we can get good pitching, good hitting, and good defense together we can turn our season around.

We will keep fighting and show "Ganbatte". No matter what happens the rest of the season we are showing signs that this program continues to move in the right direction. We hope to see you at the ballpark!
