4-0....

Recap:
A a very cold night (I'm tired of saying that) once again the Petrels found a way to win. John Hale continued his mastery and threw a gutsy 8+ innings, striking out 5 and allowing 6 hits. Nick Greenfield came in the 9th and slammed the door closed with two strikeouts. The offense (not really that offensive) had three hits but pushed across the game's only run.

Inside the Box Score:
Hale's effectiveness, Piedmont squared up only two balls all night.....Pilger's had the game's lone RBI with a SAC fly...Petrels had four stolen bases, three of them at third....Pavelka, even though struggled a bit at the plate, had a fantastic game behind the dish. Its not easy being a catcher...

Coach's Take:
Great teams find ways to win ballgames. Sometimes it ain't pretty, but it works. A quick turn around with a long day trip to Maryville. This will prepare us for conference weekends and is a good chance to see what were made of.... Weather forecast is high 30's with a rainy/snowy mix. School record for best start is 5-0 in 1995...2 games tomorrow, you do the math...

See you in the Winter Wonderland...Go Petrels!!
