Need to do something about the bottom of the lineup.All three games on ACCNX this weekend, so I’m tracking on the gametracker.
Pitt up 1-0 in the bottom of the second. Hess homered in the top of the first.

I was surprised by Duke. I looked at their record and it was not impressive (admit I did not look at who they played).I was curious and took a look at Duke’s recruiting and roster. Seems like they typically sign top 25 classes. They have a handful of PA kids committed for 2022, all of them from the Philly suburbs.

I think Coastal Carolina generally has a good team.
Ecu is also a top 15 team this year and typically decent.And Coastal is generally a good team- pretty sure they won it all just a few seasons back, although it may have been their only title.

One of the FSU announcers said that Wake Forest was his pick for the surprise of the year in the ACC because of their pitching. He said they have 5 pitchers who “touch” 95 or more on their fastballs.
Is it even that unusual at this point for a high level college team to have five pitchers who touch 95 with their fastball?
Wake Forest was said to actually have 11
