Coaches comments: Coaches comments:
   
Greg Dennis - " Cleveland State is a quality opponent to open up the conference season with. Coach Poli-castro and his staff do a super job in recruiting and coaching these guys and they present a number of different problems to their opponents. We saw them quite a bit this fall and know how potent both their pitching and hitting are. We must play 23 innings of solid fundamental baseball and compete in all the different areas of the game.  Being early in the year, it is always scary waiting to see who shows up for us and how they will respond to the challenges a club like Cleveland State will throw at us. Hopefully, our guys will show the tools and training we possess and execute them on the field." Mike Policastro - "Coach Dennis, of the (Chatt. St)Tigers, will have those guys ready to play. The first weekend of conference games can usually carry a little more emotion and Chattanooga St. will be ready to go. Our team must continue to pitch well. If we can keep away from giving up free bases and continue to pound the strike zone we should be successful. Our hitters are getting the first game jitters off and are starting to come around. We need get better defensively each and every day."

Highlights -The Tigers completed the 3-game sweep by holding on to defeat the Cougars 9-5. While walking 10 batters for the game, the
Tigers still did a great job of not allowing Cleveland State to have the BIG inning. Many players had multiple hit days for the Tigers and Mickey Campeanu came in relief throwing 4 quality innings and allowing the Tigers to build their lead.

 Series Highlights - Series Highlights - Overall, it was a nice job by Chatt State to play their type of baseball and hold the Cougars to NO MULTIPLE RUN innings. To have done this to a team of their offensive caliber is truly remarkable. We
played solid defense and were efficient and timely with our hitting and really showed great perseverance in all areas of the game.

Cleveland State   6-4 and 0-3
Chattanooga State 6-1 and 3-0

Highlights - Vol State did what they needed to do in this game to win. Every time Hiwassee put a run on the board, Vol State answered back. The big story of Game 2 was Dustin Crabtree who started on the mound for Vol State. He started out strong and as the game went on he got stronger. He was throwing all of his pitches for strikes and keeping Hiwassee off-balance. 

Series Highlights - Both teams pitching staffs did what they needed to do to give their teams a chance to win. Errors were the demise to each team in thier loss. In the first game, errors kept giving Hiwassee opportunities at the plate and they capitalized. In the second game, not being able to handle bunt situations cost Hiwassee. Offensively, Matt Robison and Blake Bratcher led the Pioneers with 7 hits between them. For Hiwassee, Leony Henriquez and Gary Tucker came up big. Hats off to Dustin Crabtree (Vol State) and Ray Ruggles (Hiwassee) who both picked up a win and really competed on the mound. 

Volunteer State  - 1-3 (1-1)
Hiwassee College = 2-3 (1-1)

For Walters, J.B. Paxson hit a towering opposite field home run in the third, but it would be the last run the Senators would score.
