So...we lost. We were the only ACC #1 seed to drop the ball. In fact, our regional allowed the only #3 seed to survive to Super Regionals out of 16 regionals. Woo-freakin'-hoo. I'm glad some people are happy (2). Damnit.
The team batted 0.280 (down from 0.315 on the season) for the NCAA tournament run and averaged 8.4 runs per game (down from 10.5 on the season). I think a huge issue was our defense. We had a billion errors. Our starting pitchers were struggling. It was tough for our offense to really get into a groove when they were chasing 5 and 6 runs every game after the third inning.
So goes life. I'm proud of the baseball team. Wish we could've done better. Now, the wait...93 days 'til college football or 68 days until the first NFL Preseason game...
