RPI of 82.
If ECU loses one game we will be the sole regular season champs.
Looking ahead a little but our first game of the AAC tournament will be Tuesday at 6 pm on the ADN against either Wichita or Tulane.
Speaking of Wich Baseball. The natives are getting restless.

You’d think after basketball season, Wichita fans would realize they’re swimming in a deeper pond in this league.
Exactly. They moved from the 16th best conference from a year ago to the 4th best conference.
Granted, they weren’t exactly good in the MVC the last two years as they had losing records in conference in each of them. Probably is time to move on from Butler.

I’m surprised they were as competitive as they were.
Bielo leading off? Interesting.

Bielo hits the 1st pitch down the line in right for a double and advances to third on an error. Padgett then gets him home on the next pitch on a grounder that the SS can handle…Coogs lead 1-0
With 1 out, Passed Ball moves Padgett to 2nd. Moves to 3rd on a Lockhart groundout, but is stranded.
M1…UH leads 1-0
Bottom 1st
Cumbie works a 1-2-3 inning with 2Ks. Got a feeling someone will get thrown out for SELA tonight as they’re already chirping loudly about strike calls.

Hollis with a leadoff single and Lovelace with a 2 out single are left stranded.
