When we go to a Coker or a Longwood, beating us is a mark for them. Lancaster took issue with the poll at the opposite end, where Pfeiffer was ranked seventh and Belmont Abbey was eighth. Pfeiffer beat us three of four last year and didn't lose anyone. I guys that redshirted last year. Someone is badly mistaken.
Limestone is picked third.
Returning five seniors from last year's pitching staff that posted a 3.27 era will give the Saints a nice advantage going into the 2001 season. Rounding out the baseball preseason poll were Coker, Longwood, Barton, Pfeiffer, Belmont Abbey, Anderson and Erskine, respectively. Lancaster said the team's ability to produce runs the old-fashioned way will be the main key to a successful season. But the question will be, can we do it offensively. We've had some guys that swing the big bats, but we don't have that now.
