Before the game, if you'd have told me we'd only give up 4 runs tonight

I'd have told you we would win and would be hosting a super regional next weekend.
With the pitching we had available, I didn't think holding that lineup to 4 runs would have been possible.
I know many of us want to try and narrow it down and single out certain players or certain plays, but at the end of the day, only scoring 3 runs with some of the players we have in this lineup is simply atrocious and was a total team effort (or lack there of). The fact we only had 5 hits and only drew 2 walks (which were both by Jared Jones) is embarrassing. Have to give some credit to their defense, but still a horrible performance by our offense, which was a common occurrence far too often throughout the season.
White went 1-5, no RBI
Milam 0-5
Pearson went 1-5 and at least had an RBI
Braswell went 0-3
Neal 0-4
Trav 1-4, no RBI
Brown had a solo HR but finished 1-4
Jared Jones (GOAT) went 1-2 with a solo shot, but maybe even crazier, he's the only player on the team who was able to take base on balls, with 2. Those were the only BB we got the entire game.
Then you had Larson 0-2 and Kling and Frey both 0-1 with Ks.
It's tough to overcome that type of performance at the plate when you're bullpen is depleted and wasn't something you could rely on all season. Yet, thanks to an awesome performance by Hellmers, we still had a chance.

I agree, but it shouldn’t totally shock us in all honesty. One of the biggest weaknesses of this team was the inability to string together good offensive performances. We saw it in the first two games this weekend, we weren’t very good offensively. We then came back yesterday with two fantastic offensive performances. We knew going into this game that UNC had the advantage pitching wise. It’s just who this team was throughout the year.

Yea. I think there was some hope because of how we finished the season and what we did in the SEC tourney, but I think that had more to do with facing Ole Miss and also playing teams in the SEC tourney that had already clinched their tourney spots or weren't throwing their best pitchers because of how the pitching days fell for the most part.
Whenever we faced good pitching this year, we struggled for a majority of those games.
