Sunday night in front of an ESPN audience the Southeastern Lions put on a display of what a complete team looks like. What you saw were the Lions getting seven hits, drawing seven walks by forcing FIU pitchers into unfavorable counts, three batters were hit by pitches, two monster HR's, and they forced the Panther's into five errors. And let's not forget the pitching gem senior RHP Tyler Watkins threw.
All in all the Lions leave Miami with a series win against one of the top mid-major teams in the country. A series win that came on the road, in a hostile environment, and in front of a national ESPN audience. SLU now looks ahead to their home opener on Tuesday night against in-state rival Tulane. First pitch is slated for 6pm.
