I was starting to like this freshman pitcher lol

Hell yeah, early night for me LOL.
Good bounce back performance tonight, the bats were hot and the pitching staff did its job against a decent Liberty lineup.
Need to carry the momentum into next weekend and get at least 2/3 from BC. The Thursday night game is being played at Fenway which should make for a very cool broadcast.
