First Game

Game 1 vs. Kernersville, North Carolina

Keys To Success

• The defense needs to be solid again, as they averaged just an error a game and gave up just one unearned run
• The starting pitching needs to be better, as a team era of 4.53 probably won't cut it this week
• They run a bit, but will need to do so more this week to help manufacture runs
• Their pitchers don't strike out too many hitters, about six a game, but if they continue with a low walk rate they'll be alright
• This team can put up huge offensive numbers, so if the pitching holds up there's no reason to believe they can't be there at the end
