Cowboys @ UCF (Big XII Opener)

Two of UCF's runs were unearned, after Meola's 2 out error in the 5th led to a 2 run single as part of their 7 run inning.

Everything else was technically earned, but there were 7 walks and 2 hit batters. I counted 6 of those scored. With even decent pitching, this would have been an easy victory.

Golden, Josiah 0.00
Kennedy, Jake 0.00
Pearcy, Kyle 0.00
Wech, Noah 0.63
Barrett, Hudson 1.86
Rhodes, Stormy 2.77
Lund, Ethan 2.96
Winslow, Drew 3.37
Pesca, Mario 4.50
Wentworth, TP 5.06
Fyke, Kai 6.00
Burns, Zane 8.44
LeBlanc, Bryce 12.46
Phillips, Brennan 15.12
Blake, Drew 27.00
Jennings, Parker 31.91

Team 5.50

Other than Hudson, who is not healthy? Just got Golden and Kennedy back, which should be a big plus.

I know pesca transformed his body, and for his long term future that’s wonderful. That said, he’s a better pitcher when he was chunky for whatever reason 😂. Wish he would’ve made the transformation after he was done playing.

So far I am not very impressed with the new pitching coach. I think Walton had two years with a team ERA over 5.00. Usually his staffs were in the low-to-mid 4’s. He had a couple of sub 4 staffs. I am willing to have some patience with him. His Oregon staffs put up some decent numbers.
 
We have two hits through five innings, but only three strikeouts. UCF pitcher has a 0.38 era, so either he is 1968 Bob Gibson or he hasn’t pitched much.
 
2 HBP, terrible error on Pesca and BP fastball basehit. Now 3-1. Pesca needs to go sit.

Poor infield play doesn’t get a dp on a dp ball and now 6-1.
 
Offense needs to wake up. We haven’t really even threatened. UCF has had a ton of baserunners the last few innings.
They are simply putting the ball in play on line drives and sharp ground balls. We are showing off our usual warning track power launch angle swings and swinging out of our shoes at balls out of the zone.
