First Game

Game 2 vs. Chesapeake, Virginia

Keys To Success

Solid hitting team led by Oklahoma State recruit Realmuto who crushed the ball last week, if you don't stop him you don't stop this team

They put a lot of runners on base, and they move them around.  If they steal another 6 bases a game they'll be tough to stop

Pitching was very good, if they can keep their numbers near where they were last week they've got a good chance to make the final day

Strikeout to walk ratio of over 2:1 is pretty solid, they need to continue that
