Pitchers hitting in NCAA baseball?

Score from Wednesday's Duel in Diego: CSU East Bay wins it in 5 sets! Brii Bryant, Ariel Ajagu, and newcomer Katie Allen put up some big numbers. 4th year seniors Lauren Massa and L-Town's very own Roxanne Neely made big contributions. I "watched" the game online, and nothin like yelling a a computer screen when the score was 12-11 in the 5th set haha

Question, what is more entertaining, watching a designated hitter hit a 430 foot home run, or watching a starting (or relief pitcher for that matter) try to make solid contact and make a productive out? I dunno, but I always enjoy watchin a starting pitcher awkwardly stand at home and take a hack or two. Even better, it is cool to see a pitcher get on base,or even better, see a REFIEF pitcher get on base. Heath Bell, the Padres closer, had the bases loaded in the top of the 9th the other night and lined out to right on a 3-2 count. That is always interesting. What do you think? How would college pitchers fair with 2, maybe 3 at bats each start?

Women's Volleyball

The women's volleyball is taking on the Tritons of UCSD tonight. It will be a big game as UCSD is ranked and it is the first CCAA road game for the girls. They are well coached by Jimmy Spagel though and so I think the girls will win in an epic 5 set game.

In other news Keith Schwecke's contract dispute has ended. He arrived on campus late Tuesday night after coming to terms with the baseball front office staff earlier this summer, and signed a one year deal worth a new pair of Mizuno cleats in the spring. Schwecke, a Senior, will help anchor the pitching staff in the 2011 season.
