The Bears lost a couple of their big pitchers before the season and things have not gone well. It does not look like the Missouri State teams we are accustomed to seeing. Here is a comparison of MSU and Arkansas:

I knew they were getting hammered so I knew they must have lost everything … hopefully we’ll get out there and jump on them early.

Baseball is a funny game. Even the '62 Mets won 40 games. You never know. Go Hogs.

The game isn’t played on paper. This game is another shot for Wicklander and few more young freshmen to get a shot on the mound.
At the plate I hope Casey Martin has a game as well as the rest of the hogs’.
I will be watching.
