The series was played in miserable weather conditions with temperatures near 40 degrees. As senior outfielder Dusty Steenwoorde said, "Those were the coldest baseball games I've ever played in." But despite the cold weather the Dons bats definitely got warm. As a team they raised their batting average from.215 to .236. One of the biggest reasons for that climb was senior Dave LaRosa. In the series he went 6 for 11 at the plate with one home run. He's now one of the Dons leading hitters with a 316 batting average. "I'm in a groove right now and hopefully I'll stay in it," he said.
