B2R analysis - Despite last weekend's solid improvement, things seemed to revert back to last series' game 1 performance where the Bearcats did not execute on defense, offense, and pitching. The most troubling statistic to the B2R is the Bearcats committed 8 errors which led to 4 unearned runs in the 3-game series. Northwest's is only playing .004 points better defense in 2013 then it did in 2012 but is hitting 63 points less. Northwest's pitching is allowing 3 1/4 more earned runs in 2013 then it did in 2012. Northwest has yet to have a real home game due to snow in the Maryville-area. The B2R believes the Cats have qualified for a name change to the Northwest Missouri State 'TOURING' Bearcats because the road show has yet to have a break. Here's hoping the team can make adjustments for this week's match-ups against Washburn and Central Missouri and take 3 of 5. With that said, the B2R is more hopeful about watching baseball in Maryville for once, too.
Go Cats!!
