He looked completely lost all day in LF. Team had 4 errors but 4 more mis-
played balls that weren't ruled errors, plus Locurto inexplicably throwing to 2nd on that play mentioned above. Grube can hit but looks like he has maybe never played first....really shows and killing us there. Gates was bad in right - 2 misplayed flies resulting in "hits", etc.
Shame on Szefc for sleeping thru any HS recruiting of note the past few years. You won't win much in the ACC with a portal-led team. You have got to recruit HS players at a high level, and coming off 2022 he had a ton to sell, especially to hitters. Ball is the only solid hitter in our lineup today recruited out of HS, maybe Locurto but he has not show a lot yet.

Just awful defense. Can't beat many teams committing 4 errors...

And you can’t throw behind the runner. You learn that in T-ball**

Yeah, not sure what Locurto was thinking. He is having a bad day in LF.**

The double to LF early in the game I thought he didn't play that very well.

You may be right. He stuck his glove up like he didn't see it.**
