Solid win. Hope we keep it rolling and keep stacking them before conference season starts. Only question mark coming out of this game to me is what role Andrews should have this season as far as how to use him. Him and Coop both have something to prove after last season I think

Winthrop is going to score a lot of runs this year. They had some good at bats. Nance touching 95-96 in mid February is impressive.

Did Fraasman hit the bus with that bomb? Also, since when do they park a bus there?

I think when they built the construction road for the indoor batting cage behind the centerfield wall, they started allowing busses back there. I remember seeing them last year. Pure speculation on my part.

Makes sense. I don't remember seeing buses there last year, but either way, it's not a great place to park with the Doak stream normally blowing that way. Hopefully we aren't responsible for broken windows! Lol

If Lanphere and Nixon can keep hitting like this then watch out. Makes this lineup a lot more dangerous top to bottom.
