Alpert was followed by Adam Siegel, Andy Stirling, Stefan Lollar, Matthew Palmer and Matt Groninger. The relievers combined to allow six runs on twelve hits in seven innings. The Eagles made it interesting when they scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth. Drew Schwartz drove in two runs with a single, but Brescia responded with two runs in the top of the seventh to put the game away. Our bat speed is not where it needs to be.
Guys are too anxious at the plate.
Hopefully we can use this game as a learning experience. Twardoski recognizes that it is early in the season, and that it is common to see some of the problems he is seeing. Despite the 12 runs, I'm very happy with our pitching this weekend. Some of our pitchers are just getting their feet wet. As for some of the other guys, we need to see who is going to step up.
