Tough tough matchup. Hope Nunn can come through two years in a row. First pitch in an hour.

First pitch moved to 4:00 PM. Here's hoping we can get off the schneid and beat Mr. Rodon twice in a row!

Jaylin Davis with a single into right drives in 2. App up 2-1 in the third!

Jaylin Davis seems to like hitting Rodon. If I'm not mistaken, his 1st college at bat was a solo HR on Rodon.

And Davis adds to the list against Rodon! 3 run homer puts the Apps down 6-5

If we could just defend a little this would be a different game.

2 outs, top of the ninth. Head is on second with Morton batting. NCSU just brought in their closer.

Lose 6-5, but play a lot better.

Pitching was better, hitting was not bad, fielding sucked bad.

We've played every game since the first (which I consider a mulligan considering the circumstances) really closely. We tweak a couple items and clean up simple defensive plays, we'll be just fine come conference time.

Keep in mind that we would've been ecstatic four years ago just being competitive in these games vs. the top 25.

We'll be fine. Good showing today. Playing this type of schedule hurts now but will help us later.

Exactly right.... Bad bad scheduling.

Tough schedule early on, it will build "character", we're about to turn the corner.

This. If these guys start to feel like they can go head-to-head with the top 25 on a nightly basis, we'll be fine in conference. I think yesterday was a turning point.

I guess some here want us to play crappy teams and get a lot of wins and then when conference rolls around and we play good teams, we get spanked.
