McNeese has been pretty good the last few years…this year they’ve collapsed so far. McNeese is currently 2-9 on the year and has been swept by Wichita State and UTSA, lost 2 out of 3 to Texas State, and lost to Louisiana Tech. They did beat Mississippi State last Wednesday 6-3 so there is reason to worry.
They are currently being outscored 6.9-3.3 runs and have an RPI of 215.
Coogs haven’t beaten a team this year that has more than 3 wins.
I’m already not holding my breath.
Been wondering why he hasn’t been getting more work…pitched well vs Ags last year in Regs and very well vs TSU last week

Where did these bats come from?! I love it!
Wherever they came from, they need to make sure they keep these and throw the other ones out.
In all seriousness, good to see before a solid opponent this weekend.
