We did out hit Gardner Webb this year.
This is not what you expect from a team that was preseason ranked in top 25 going into the tourney.

Perritt 0-3
Britt 0-4

I am not blaming coaches but there enough talent on this team to not be at the bottom of the BSC in hitting.
Yes you can put most of the blame on the Head Coach Toman for making bad decisions all the time. He makes out the lineup, puts on the hit&run plays, steals, bunts, and the one I hate the most....take sign, that puts the batter behind in most cases. He also decides who is pitching and whose coming in next. He should have started Lyons, because you just can't loss that first game especially to a lower seeded team. Yes the players have to get it done; but it's how they are taught to do it and how they are motivated to play these games.
The facts are that this team doesn't have "all that talent" that y'all keep talking about. You play in a weak mid-major conference that you finished fourth place. You couldn't beat the top three teams ahead of you and you got beat by a team seeded lower than you. So he's not bringing in all that much talent. So get a new coach, a players coach and you will see a lot better results. I'm surprised at the lack of comments about the senior leadership of this team. A lot of 0-4 and a ton of strikeouts; even a " Golden Sombrero."
And for those couple of Toman lovers; keep liking him and enjoy your baseball seasons ending earlier than they should. Y'all have a good day, you hear!
