OFFICIAL: BASEBALL vs. FGCU, Fri 2/22, Final Eagles 8-2

[Gatorgal04]

Next weekend series is with our friends from Ft. Myers. The FGCU Eagles play in the Atlantic Sun Conference and ended 2012 with a 26-31, 15-12 record. They played in their conference tourney but saw no further action in the post season. So far in 2013 they are 2-1. They beat St. Johns twice and lost to Notre Dame last weekend. The Eagles played no mid-week games this week. As expected the roster is full of Florida guys with a few out-of-staters sprinkled in. 6 Seniors, 13 Juniors, 6 Sophs and 10 Freshmen.

Gotta bounce back and play good defense this weekend. I've been pleasantly surprised with our ability to get on base and score runs. Go gators, I'll be there on Saturday!

w/ shafer starting on a weekday game, does this mean the weekend pitching rotation might be different for this weekend?

[taxman22]

Yes, i believe the young gun Hanhold is starting Sunday. He struggled badly on Tuesday, hopefully he got the first game jitters out. Go Gators. I hope Crawford is strong tonight, helps set the tone for the weekend.

While Eric wasn't sharp against GSU, the result was pretty misleading. Only gave up one clean single....a bunt single and then errors by Tobias and Martin blew the inning up. His first outing was against Duke where he closed the 9th with 2 k's in a 1-2-3 inning.
