It seems the team is fading from a pretty good start. Poor Pitching is tough to overcome. Are injures involved?

[Truthful]

I agree it seems like NU's pitching and defense have really been a problem of late . The current team ERA is 6.76 , coupled with poor defense it's not surprising that the team is struggling . However , NU has a great offense and could be very dangerous in the MAAC tournament . A win over St Bona would be a good start to turn things around .

We defeated Boonies on their field two weeks ago 17-12 in a pitcher's duel; Let's rinse and repeat!

Bonnies DH Tuesday postponed due to rain.
