It’s early in the season, but we already have experienced a little bit of the roller-coaster ride that the college baseball season can be. After opening the season with three excellent wins over Houston, Tennessee and Rice at Minute Maid, we dropped our mid-week game in disappointing fashion to Texas-Arlington at home Tuesday.

If we are to achieve the goals we have set this season, we must maintain a more consistent level of play. We get our first shot at getting back on track this weekend with Oral Roberts at home. They have a solid team, and we will have to play three quality games to win this weekend.

It’s been a long off-season and everyone is glad to be getting started with the season.

We have some great trips this year (Vanderbilt, Arizona State) and just finished a good one at the Minute Maid College Classic in Houston. We have a challenging and exciting schedule ahead of us but the right group of guys to handle it.
