13-13 with #57 RPI

Winning today or Tuesday at home won't help the RPI much so its going to take a miracle at Charlottesville or Charlotte to play June baseball. - The inability to develop pitchers has to be fixed for next season. Its a short list of pitchers who got better after their 1st year in Blacksburg. - Lack of fundamentals is job # 2. Hitting to all fields, bunting, lining up for the relay throw, charging the ball in the outfield, not skying the throw into the infield, applying a tag, using the warning track to play the outfield wall and the correct stretch on a force out have all been issues this season and need to be cleaned up. - And of course studying opponents outfield so you can better judge when to send a runner, Recruiting more bats will only take us so far.

As a fan, I prefer lack of talent over lack of fundamentals
