Marshall has a baseball team? I kid, but that is awesome. After the season we have went through in basketball, it is hard to think about baseball at MU.

The road to Biloxi starts today. Good luck everyone!!

UAB beats Marshall

Matt Canterino throwing meatballs for his second straight start.

There’s a reason we have a losing record.

Tuesday's lack of offense had me worried for the weekend.

FINAL

Tech 8
Rice 2

Florida Atlantic beats Old Dominion 10-5.

Game #2 tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Tech will be playing a DH vs Rice tomorrow

MT beat Western 3-2 in Bowling Green

had 2 outs in bottom of the ninth, with 2 strikes on the #8 hitter

proceeded to hit 3 consecutive batters

left the pitcher in and he got the #2 hitter to popup to win the game

if I was the western coach I would have my batters just stand there

Doubleheader starts at 1 PM CT instead of the originally scheduled 2 PM.

Hard to believe that Tech keeps improving on its two major nationally ranked team pitching stats...team ERA and WHIP. Tech was ranked #3 in team ERA at 1.86 starting tonight, and it is now 1.82 after allowing only 1 ER. Tech was 5th in WHIP (walks and hits allowed per inning pitched) at 1.03, and that is now 1.02 after allowing five hits and two walks tonight.

I was talking with Coach Mac and he said we'll be starting a new scheduling cycle next year; so we'll be playing Louisiana Tech and skipping Marshall.

USM up 9-0 going to bottom 6. USM pitcher Nick Sandlin has double digit Ks (11 today) for the 3rd time in 5 starts. He’s got a remarkable 52/3 strikeout to walk ratio on the year.

USM gets 3 in bottom 6 to go up 12-0. The pitching line for Sandlin is 6 IP, 2 hits, 11 K, 1 BB

Edit
Sandlin gives up a 2 out double but he does get 3 more strikeouts in the top 7 to tie his career high of 14 Ks. Being at 108 pitches I’d say he won’t be back out for the 8th.

Final line score
7 IP, 3 H, 14 K, 1 BB, 0 runs. Season ERA now 1.32 with a 3-0 record (unless utsa makes a stunning comeback). Of note he only allowed 2 batters/runners to reach 2nd base.

That’s good. Ridiculous that 2 of our top programs don’t play each other.

UTSA gets a 2R HR in the 9th to make the final score USM 12 - UTSA 2. Game 2 of the series at 6 pm tonight.

Raiders win 8-7, win the series, go for the sweep on Sunday
