The sophomore second baseman led the Bulls’ offense and was a key factor in a 5-0 week. Montes hit a team-best .421 (8-for-19) during a week for that began with a win at No. 3 Florida State on Tuesday night. Montes totaled three runs, his second homerun of the season and a team-high five RBI. In the ninth-inning comeback win at FSU Tuesday, Montes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored that was the tying tally. Over the weekend in a four-game sweep of Miami (Ohio), Montes went 7-for-16 (.437) and had a pair of multi-hit games. He had a 2-for-4 effort in game 1 of Saturday’s double-header with two RBI and a run scored, helping his team to a 7-2 win. In the series finale Sunday afternoon, Montes clubbed a season-best three hits, added another run and a two more RBI, including his second homer of the year. Montes is riding a six-game hit streak and has three multi-hit games this season.

He's also been great defensively. Yesterday he made a play a couple steps on the SS side of 2nd base to throw a guy out at first. Not an easy play for a second baseman.

I still think we're a year away, but if we keep up the pitching, we could sneak our way into the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me we have a 3 game home and home setup with UNC for the next two years. He also mentioned Ohio State too. Those would be great home games if true.

With good pitching and defense you're in every game. And even though it sounds ridiculous, the fact that these kids can rally from behind in the ninth to win will really give them confidence. Just need to bet up on the teams that we should and stock like a lot of Ws before conference play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season's over, all the hard work has paid off and we made it to the post-season tourney, yeah! Do we get a first round bye if some of our players get "delayed" at the airport? It was over for me SO many games ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
