While Navy dominated the Patriot League hitting categories this season, there's one statistic about Holy Cross that stands out for Mids' coach Paul Kostacopoulos, whose team is slated to begin the Patriot League best-of-three championship series on Saturday against the Crusaders.
"I don't usually say this about college offenses, but they have very good power --- they jack the ball around,'' said Kostacopoulos. "And they've got very good pitching. They play the game hard. It's going to be a battle.''
Navy's .304 team batting average easily led the Patriot League. The Mids led the league in seven other categories, including on-base percentage and runs.
