The Tritons can take positives away from their 0-4 weekend at the University of Montevallo (Ala.).

The Tritons fell to the host 21-0 Sunday, but there are facets in which to be optimistic regarding the weekend as a collective.

First, the ability to respond.

Down 4-0 early on Saturday, UMSL banded together and struck for 2 runs, falling shor in the endt, 5-2.

Intestinal fortitude will be tested in a game that incudes a higher failure rate than success rate (typically fail 70 percent of the time).

Simply put, chock the weekend up as experience and battling opening weekend out of state.

Another positive tangble: Trent Anderson pitched a scoreless 2-run appearance on Sunday. Positive.

"It's not how you start, but how you finish" -- the time honored mantra is relative.
