Big in-conference weekend series for the Tribe at Plumeri starting tomorrow.

Monmouth comes in 1-5 (9-10) in the CAA, losing 2 of 3 to UNCW and getting swept at current leader, Elon.

We win game 1, 8-3.

Sun’s trying to come out. Looking forward to seeing my first baseball game this season.

TV improved with three cameras now in use.

Tribe up 5-1 after 2.

Good. My mind still hasn’t accepted losing yet to Monmouth. In anything.

Well they just dropped a 10 spot on us.

Was a lot of it complicated by the high wind? It's no fun playing outfield on a day like today.

There was wind but the issue was that WM brought in a new pitcher to start that inning, he got injured pitching to his first batter (a walk), and thus WM was forced to quickly bring in another pitcher who had not had a chance to warm up properly and as a result the second pitcher couldn’t find any rhythm out there.

They could have had a couple other pitchers get loose when the guy got thrown to the wolves, but I guess McRae thought it was okay for Weidenger to take a beating for the team. He faced 13 batters.

Tribe up 6-1 through 5 innings in rubber game.

Pitching holding Monmouth to 2 hits so far.

Tribe wins 7-1, takes series.
