Five things to take from baseball's opening week

Plenty of power in 2010 Knights’ lineup

Coming off a sweep of Savannah State in the season-opening series this past weekend, the Knights showed signs of greatness and also some areas of concern. Here are the five things to take from opening weekend:

Duffy

New-found patience a virtue for Chris Duffy

Every time senior outfielder Chris Duffy stepped up to the plate in past years, the result was pretty simple.

He would either muscle the ball over the outfield fence or he would sit down on three strikes. Through three games this season, all that seems behind the 6-foot-2, 240-pound left fielder.
