Swanson definitely looks like the real deal.  His throw from deep short to get Xavier Turner was fantastic.  He also swung the bat well.  Tyler Campbell at 2nd for Gold also looked good with 2 hits, including a double, and a nice sac bunt.  Wiseman took his lumps at the plate with three K's and two HBP's but he has a nice swing and, hopefully, will catch up to college pitching by the time spring rolls around.  It was also encouraging that there was only one error the entire night (high throw by McKeithan on Swanson's grounder in the 3rd.)  

Overall, the freshmen looked very good hitting and fielding.  We got to see quite a few of the freshmen pitchers and they were also impressive.  Pat Delano is a giant!  Raasch has a nice sidearm delivery.  I think this year's freshmen class promises to deliver a lot more than the freshmen did last year.

I'm definitely thinking this team will be a threat to go to Omaha next June.
