Just curious how Bottoms and Justin did. Both good kids.

Michael Bottoms Hit a 3-Run home run for Mercer. I believe he pitched that last 2 innings and gave up 8 runs. I know all of them were not earned not sure on the amount though. I assume you're talking about Justin Morgan. He didn't do very much in this game. He's a good ball player though.

Is Model any good? Of did Mercer just hand it to them?

Model's good. We have a good group of senior that have all been playing varsity since 8th grade and four pitchers who can each win a game on a given day.
