They’re 13-12 on the year with an RPI of 253. Toughest team they’ve played are the Aggies who they lost to 12-5. Have not beaten a team with a winning record this year and are currently on a 4 game losing streak after getting swept at Lamar over the weekend. They score around 6 runs per game, but give up 7.
Should be a blowout, but have to take them seriously. Remember HBU.
