In other conference Games:

Cincy beats Memphis 13-6
Tulane beats UCF 4-3
USF leads ECU 4-2 in B6

Whitting mentions that last night’s win may be the biggest win of the year as they had blown leads in the previous 3 games and to have it happen again and then comeback and win it against the best closer in the league.

Bullpen is depleted last night, was hoping to rest Pulido, Fletcher, and Romero one more night last night.

King probably won’t start tomorrow, still limping around.

Ball club is loose and the older kids have been great keeping the younger guys loose and feeling good even with all the drama and injuries.

Watching the UH video feed kills me. Feels like I’m watching a VHS tape.

This has to get better at some point; absolutely unacceptable.

Glad to see Padgett back in the #2 hole. I like this lineup.

Hell yeah, Julks!

Yep, this is probably the best lineup they can put out there. Glad Grimsley is back too as he should shore up the defense while Padgett is injured.

The audio (especially music) sounds like an old LP being played at different rotation speeds.

This is a beatdown.

I went to go get food so I wasn’t able to see it, but I was listening and am amazed at our ability to consistency bunt someone in from 2nd. Takes a lot of skill to pull that off, and I can’t remember a time where it didn’t work. Impressive.
