Thatta boy Bennett! Guess the strategy of walking McKeever and Springer on two outs didn't work.... :cry:

This part of the line-up is what should make the Shox much better this season. With Springer, McKeever, and Bennet in the 3-4-5 in some order, teams won't be able to skate through the heart of the order. Jones needs to follow up that trio with a solid OBP or be dropped to 8th or 9th. In reality, I would go:

Hall
Baez
Springer
McKeever
Bennett
Harbutz
Lassley
Grimes
Jones

Hall is too good and too fast to be down at #9.

As John Wooden was known to exclaim when he was excited or animated:

Goodness, gracrious, sakes alive!

It's looking more-and-more like we don't have to sweat if we will break 5 runs against teams like Tabor and North Dakota State like we did last year. I am really loving what the guys are doing.

Now let's keep pounding USA and not let up our foot off their throat!

Hall is a prototype leadoff guy -- if he can reach. The way these guys are hitting, he's gonna have to earn that position. :)
