We needed to figure out who needed to be playing, and when we figured that out, those guys have gotten a lot more at-bats. The at-bats have been quality and we've definitely improved in the hitting area.

It is good competition and all six teams are good quality baseball teams. We always have wanted to do something like this and hope it can be an annual thing.

Hopefully we can have a true home-field advantage, have a good crowd and create as good a college baseball atmosphere as possible.

One of our goals is to make to the Peach Belt Tournament. This format will help us get ready because playing in a tournament is a different type of baseball.
