Baseball Diamond Notes: Slide Continues

Fairfield lost its fifth straight game yesterday, falling to UConn 8-0.

Freshman starter Kevin Fico did not pitch badly. He gave up five runs in six innings, but got no run support.

The most glaring example of the offensive struggles came in the fourth, when the Stags let a one-out, bases loaded situation slip away.

While UConn is a Big East force, Fairfield should be able to execute with runners in scoring position.

Leaving men on base has been one of the team’s biggest problems all year long. To stay competitive, the Stags need to consistently put the ball in play and get men home.
