Midseason Report Card: Rutgers baseball finally hitting stride

A rare Sunday off day for the baseball team may not have come at a worse time because the team seems to finally be figuring it out. After a disappointing loss to Rider earlier in the week, the team traveled to South Carolina, for a three game set with USC Upstate in Spartanburg. Rather than wallow in their own self-pity, the team erupted, earning a series sweep.

Friday: Team captain Mike Carter tallied his first dinger of the season in the first inning and the Knights never looked back. After that, Serafino Brito finally pitched the game the coaches knew he could with 7 innings of shutout ball, but most importantly no walks.
