ing to play. “We’ve got to get ready for conference play. So whenever we have a chance to play, we’re going to play. “We played really good for two and a half games and then we ran out of gas,” said Brownlee. Despite the three losses, Brownlee saw a number of positives. “This is probably as good as a first weekend of coming out and swinging the bats as we’ve had in my 18 years of coaching,” he said. “It
ASTROGRAPH Your intuitive insight will lead to a remarkable adventure this year. You will win others over with your commitment and passion, and your personal relationships will become stronger and more satisfying. A special connection will reveal secret information that will enable you to put doubt or uncertainty behind you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take the initiative and become involved in an unusual creative project. A community event or gathering will benefit from your
even seemed like that our outs were loud outs. We had a lot of competitive atbats and really didn’t feel like guys were overmatched. “Defensively, we did some really good things and then we ran out of gas,” said Brownlee. “That’s going to happen the first couple of weekends when you have your cleats on for the first time. That’s not an excuse, that’s just how things work with your body. We’ve got to get used to that. “I like the mentality of our guys,” he added. “... We got down 11-2 in the first game and we battled back
and we had a legitimate chance of coming back to win that game. I think that shows the type of fight this team has.” Brownlee is looking for a mix of returners and newcomers to blend together for success this season. For the returnees Chris Tschida (.263, 24 RBI), Adam McGinnis (.281. 26 R), JJ Reimer (.319, .429 slg. pct.) and Brent Turner (.227, 15 RBI) will man the top of order. On the mound, Nick Milligan (4-1, 3.80 ERA), Tyler Owings (4-1, 3.86 ERA) and Nick Smith (1-1, 5.02 ERA) return.
Among the newcomers, freshman Colton Pogue played second, short and third during the MTSU series. And his first at-bat was a single up the middle. “He’s not timid at all,” said Brownlee. Another freshman, infielder Kendall King, has seen time as a defensive specialist, but according to Brownlee is also coming along offensively. Roman Visintine, an outfielder, is a redshirt freshman who sat out last year after undergoing labrum surgery. Joe Mortillaro, a redshirt
junior and freshman J.T Baksha lead the newcomers. In his college debut, Baksha allowed just one hit with seven strikeouts and no walks in 4.1 innings. “He’s not overpowering, but can throw everything for strikes,” said Brownlee. Another week of crazy weather forced a change in Western’s travel plans. The Leathernecks were scheduled to play at Oklahoma State. However, due to recent weather, the Leathernecks and Cowboys traveled to Auburn, Ala. for games Friday and Sunday. Western is also scheduled to face Jacksonville State today.

JSU was already in town to play Auburn. “The thing this weekend is to be a little bit more consistent defensively and on the mound,” said Brownlee. “We did some good things on the mound, obviously we have to get better in some areas. But our core groups of arms are going to give us a chance to go up against anybody here in the next couple of weeks.”

quences. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Your emotions will be close to the surface. Don't place unrealistic demands on anyone, and think twice before you say something that's hurtful. Trying to make amends will be difficult. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- If you are feeling overwhelmed, stop and give yourself time to regroup. Personal or professional stress will limit your ability to see the situation clearly. It's better to be safe than sorry.
