I see that ODU will Pitch Burok against West Va. this weekend and Verlander against Richmond.

Reputation wise, Richmond may seem better on paper but....

West Va. mashes the ball...period! Richmond not so much unless they have alot of new guys coming up. ODU can match up against the Richmond hitters with Burok. Verlander, great pitcher that he is, can stop the WVU bats. But those boys are hitters.

Saw both teams up close last year...no comparison hitting wise.

Mr. Mom --

Interesting... I know that our team left Morgantown this morning expecting to face Verlander..

Wish I could have gotten off work for the opener but I will be at UNCW next weekend..

Good Luck to all the Hokie players I/we know this season, especially Philip and Andrew

Thanks Justmom, ODU may be playing a little Possum but Richmond does have the better rep. If they've done their homework they'll know who the better hitting team is.

Philip is excited about this season he's worked hard with a good hitting instructor that has basically revamped his entire approach. We'll see!

I was surprised to see BC picked over WVU in the Big East Poll. You can usually count on one thing those pre-season polls never quite pan out.

Good luck to Chris...

MR Mom -

You called it!! WVU defeats ODU 7-4 in 9 innings. Chris reports that it was a combination of both defense and offense that secured the win.
