We were pretty successful this week, finishing the week 3-1 with a victory over Purdue and two over Mississippi State. Even though we won the first two games of the series against Mississippi State, they battled back and beat us 9-8 on Sunday. For the first three games of the week, our pitching was dominant and threw shutouts in each game. Kevin Ziomek began the streak with his start against Purdue, and it continued through Sonny Gray’s start Friday and Grayson Garvin’s on Saturday. Tony Kemp and Anthony Gomez, the two hitters atop our lineup, led us offensively this week. Kemp pushed his hitting streak to five games, whereas Gomez’s streak is at 16 and counting.

Texas freshman infielder Alex Silver was diagnosed with cancer in January. He recently completed treatments and was cleared to play for the Longhorns this past weekend. He has not made an appearance yet but could see his first action in the coming weeks. Heading into the season, Silver was expected to compete for the starting job at third base and could be an impact bat in the Longhorns lineup. You can check out a full video report from ABC 13 below on Silver completing treatments. Read the rest of this entry »
Welcome back everyone. It is great to be home in the Northeast getting ready for some cold conference baseball. The short sleeves are a distance memory of what we have been dealing with for the past week and a long time to come. Our field has not been ready for us to get on our field so we have been back to our old tricks of gym practices, BP, and our team lifts. Such is the life of Northeastern teams.

After a rough start to the season, the leathernecks have seemed to have found a little groove. We have been through some rough games, some that we should have won hands down and some that we could have taken. All season it seemed that we have been looking for someone to step up and take it upon themselves to pull our team out of this slump. This past weekend we had a number of players step to the plate and take that role. It seemed that when these players stepped up, the rest of our team followed. Our record is not a reflection of the talent that we have and I still think that we are going to surprise some teams. Read the rest of this entry »
