All this talk about Stony Brook in the CWS. People are ignoring Kent State. HUGE HUGE playing for this team. This is a team with no weaknesses. They cannot get down tomorrow, and they match-up well against Arkansas. So I ask you to look at this:

This is where we need to be. These are all kids an hour (or less) away from here. Last season they lost all of their games against major teams, but they played a really tough schedule. This year they did not play as tough a schedule. Yet they won the regional both seasons ...and are in the CWS. If the $$ are right, coach Daily would come here. He is a good batter's coach, and lives local. If Strollo is smart, he keeps coach Antush to coach our hurlers. Or pay Antush enough draw him away from Hickory as our HC. We can do it!!
