Considering how inexperienced their pitching is, it doesn’t help St. John’s to play poor defense.
After committing eight errors in a series victory against Georgetown, the Red Storm committed five last Wednesday night as they took a 9-4 loss from Princeton at Jack Kaiser Stadium.
St. John’s has now committed 43 errors on the season for a .962 fielding percentage. The pitching staff as a whole has given up 36 unearned runs in their first 30 games.
“We’re not working hard enough, and we’re not catching the baseball. That’s the bottom line,” head coach Ed Blankmeyer said.
