Going to eighth…9-8 Coogs
Randel works around one walk and Coogs lead into the bottom of the eighth…9-8
Nothing doing for Coogs so to the ninth we go…9-8 UH!
Henry comes in and mows 'em down in the ninth and Coogs hold on for an exciting 9-8 win…

Great job by Randel and Henry to wrap this one up…Triolo remains on fire with three hits and Davis pounds out a three run homer…

I went to the baseball luncheon the other day and Joey sat at our table. I was very impressed with him as he was very well mannered.
He told me he is going to pursue a degree in Chemical engineering after this season.
Good luck to him. Go Coogs!

Can anyone confirm the rumor Aguilar is having a surgery ?
Very happy Randel got the win. He’s had a tough year and had maybe the most insanely unlucky inning I’ve seen all year when he was tagged for THREE infield singles in his first inning.
This was a very good series win. I mean, who knows, USF may turn into a pumpkin but they looked like a really salty line-up and pitching staff and we took 2/3.

No idea. Would make sense that we didn’t see him Friday or Sunday if that was the case. My thought is that he’d start against Rice on Tuesday since we didn’t see him this weekend, but I’ll guess we’ll see. No idea who’ll start that game if it isn’t Aguilar as most of the other candidates pitched this weekend.
