Stags played small ball with 13 hits to knock off Stetson, continuing a successful pre-conference southern swing. I don’t think many expected an over .500 record at this point in the season.
Wrap up the two game set at 1 PM today.
Head to Rose Hill for a 3 game weekend series with the Rams. All games scheduled to stream on ESPN+.

I think we mercy-ruled Stetson -- a 10-run win in a seven-inning game.
The weekend pitching rotation seems to be evolving. Looks like Jake Noviello, Colin McVeigh and now Jack Erbeck. Peter Ostensen is back in the bullpen (after some rocky starts), and Grant Smeltzer has pitched well and could be the emerging closer. Still no Blake Helmstetter appearances; the former Iona standout must be hurt.
That said, I'm not sure pitching is going to matter all that much versus most MAAC schools. Fairfield bats are going to pound teams into submission on the weekends. I expect to regularly use the words "obliterate," "ravage" and "expunge" in message-board posts this spring. I'll probably even work in "wipe off the face of the earth" at some point.

Looks like a bullpen game; Stags lead 5-4 in the 5th. |

7-5 Stetson final. Still, 7-7 Southern record is pretty good. Cant wait for the MAAC season

They need to trade for a pitcher.  |
