Attended the Pitt vs Fairfield baseball game today .... Pitt won 5-2...... some observations .......
- Weather ...... mid 50's and sunny.
- Attendance was poor ...... official attendance was 194 ..... there appeared to be less.
- Pitt was having some graduation ceremonies today at the Pete.
- Pitt played a solid overall game.
- T.J. Zeuch pitched a really good game ..... gave up 1 run in 8 innings ..... had a good fastball, slider, and curve.
- Fairfield scored their 1st run on a well executed suicide sqeeze play in the 3rd inning.
- Pitt didn't make any errors today and DeMeo made 2 or 3 real nice plays at 3rd base ..... his problem is weak hitting.
- Fairfield didn't make any errors either ..... they made all the routine plays and a couple nice plays.
- The starting pitcher for Fairfield didn't have a real good fastball and got us out mainly with a lot of breaking stuff .... I thought we should have hit him harder but didn't.
- Jacob Wright our leadoff hitter looks like a pretty good player ...... looked solid in the field, runs well, and hit a hard line drive down the right field line that got past the Fairfield RF for a lead-off triple in the 3rd inning ..... LeBlanc followed with one of his two, run scoring sac-flies to bring Wright home..... LeBlanc, our shortstop, leads the team in errors but fielded 3 ground balls today without incident..... Leblanc is 3rd on the team in hitting, he is big (6'4", 205), looks like he runs pretty well.... he is a true freshman so I think he may become a very good player in the future.
- Ron Sherman was our DH today ...... early in the game he hit a long fly that was caught on the warning track in LF .... later in the game he hit a double in the left-center gap.
- Hobie Harris pitched the 9th for Pitt and was hit hard but got out of the inning with only one run scored by Fairfield.
- Schnurbusch, Kowalczyk, and Hess all look like solid players.
- Boo Vazquez continues to baffle me ...... he was drafted in the MLB Draft out of high school but came to Pitt and after 3 years at Pitt was not drafted last year .... he did have a down year last year but isn't a lot better this season ...... he has all kinds of potential but I'm not sure if he will be drafted this year or not ...... someone may take a chance on him.
- It doesn't look like Pitt will make the ACC Baseball Tournament.
