Even though the Stags lost both games to Le Moyne on Saturday, they played very good ball against a team that was picked to finish first in the MAAC this year.
Fairfield showed no signs of intimidation against Le Moyne ace Bobby Blevins. The Stags jumped out in front early with two runs, but struggled at the plate thereafter.
Calabrese put together another quality start. Start after start, he’s proven that you don’t need to mow batters down to be effective. On Saturday, he had only two strikeouts, getting most of his outs on groundballs and flyouts. He makes hitters put the ball in play and it’s effective.
In game two, Gariano let it all hang out, pitching a beauty. The Stags’ bats must rally behind him next time though, as they gave him no support.
20 strikeouts in two games combined is much too high. Fairfield has shown that it can put the ball in play, but it must do so consistently.
