Twenty plus inches of snow haven’t stopped our preparation for the opening weekend of our 2010 season. We were originally scheduled to play three games in Richmond this weekend but due to snow across the state we are now scheduled to play a three game series with Methodist in Fayetteville, N.C.
The ODAC vs. USA South match-ups have been rescheduled between Greensboro and Fayetteville (NC) and Newport News and Norfolk (VA). We have not played Methodist since the high scoring affair at the NCAA Regionals in 2007.
The players are excited to get going and are looking forward to the 12:00pm game time and doubleheader tomorrow followed by a single game. We will be throwing all of our starters (six) and another four relievers over the three game weekend.
I am expecting our pitching to give us a chance to win while our offense will need to take advantage of the opportunities we create or are giving throughout the weekend. Of course, the latest forecast for Fayetteville is 2-4 inches of snow Friday night, which may move our start to a doubleheader Sunday.
Wish us well!
