April 29 at MU Baseball Field in Long Branch, NJ

Let's start with color commentator Gary Kowal, who I like to call The Central New Jersey God of Baseball Phrases:

"Back in his natural habitat"
"Pitching to contact"
"You can't teach size"
"Some electricity in Yunginger's pitches"
"Caught in no-man's land"
"Playing with a purpose"
"All hands on deck"
"Deuces wild"
"A plethora of relief arms"
"Stinging the ball"
"Put it in your pocket"

The Ivan Ackerman of college baseball teams

Like Ackerman, St. Joseph's always seemed to do the wrong thing on Wednesday, always.

The Hawks made five errors, hit two batters, threw a wild pitch, balked once, walked six Monmouth hitters and struck out 12 times at the plate. Adam Yunginger had seven of those strike outs in six strong innings as Monmouth won its fourth straight, 7-0.
