Six days, five games, won them all.

Not a bad week, eh?

Pitched a combined 2.60 ERA, 16 walks, 38 Ks, .212 BA/A. We hit .284. Both ERA and BA improved our season averages considerably.

Stars for the week? Well, Matt Waldron for sure. Backed up his excellent outing at Baylor with a superb gem on Friday - two hit complete game. How about Kyle Perry? Four innings Wednesday, one run, six hits but nine (Nine!) strikeouts and just one walk.

Reece Eddins combined eight scoreless innings for Tuesday (3 innings) and Sunday (5 innings) getting seven Ks with two walks in starter roles. That'll play. And Nate Fisher, one run for 7.1 innings pitched, zero walks (<--- noice!).

The bullpen had a few iffy innings but never cost a game and mostly did very well.

Batters..
Palensky - 6/17 (5 games), 5 RBIs, 2 doubles and a triple
Acker - 4/9 (3 games), 4 RBIs, a double and a triple
Chick - 8/15 (4 games), 1 RBI

Pretty good week. Let's keep it rolling.

Solid starting pitching. Outstanding defense. And bats that, for the first time in memory, seem to have developed some consistent production. A pretty good recipe for success.

Up next are four games against teams that just swept road series against Big Ten opponents.

I know, oof! Creighton also hit six home runs in that series. BTW, Creighton has 20 homers in their 16 games. Could be a tall order tomorrow tho, 15 mph wind blowing in from the south.

Might add that sweeps were in order this week, I tracked several of them including AFA swept at home by Dallas Baptist. This embarrassment ended disastrously when the Sunday game went 30-7 for DBU. Twelve doubles and five home runs for the winners. Wild in the strike zone?

The strikeout to walk ration is what I liked the most. That has always been our Achilles heel so seeing that was a breath of fresh air.

We've got multiple mound visits this year which have produced amazingly good ratios there. The two Waldrons, Eddins and Fisher are 10 walks to 85 Ks. Klenke has the best of the rest (5BB/10Ks).

Damn does that ever feel good.

Everyone else is so-so but, out of the entire staff, only Schanaman, Frazier and Hood are upside down (11 BB/3Ks combined).
