Recommended Posts

Action gets underway tomorrow at noon with #2 Omaha taking on #3 IPFW...the Mastodons enter the tournament as the hottest team with 10 straight victories so that should be an interesting matchup....at night top seed ORU takes on #4 South Dakota State.....as usual, winning the first two games is huge since you move to the title game on Saturday....getting Friday off and saving wear and tear on pitching.....weather looks good for Wednesday but T-Storms are possible the rest of the week....any updates on if Whatley can go behind the plate for ORU???....we can use his bat.....GO BLUE!!!.....:eagles:

TheEagleman has been wondering why IUPUI, South Dakota and Denver do not play baseball.....especially the latter two.....Denver has income sports and are a national power in Lacrosse and Hockey.....strange that they don't have a baseball team.....:mellow:

The tournament is now underway at JLJ after a short delay due to wet grounds.....Omaha has a 1-0 lead over IPFW with the Mavericks still batting in the home 2nd.....B)

WOW!  IPFW scored 6 runs in the 9th to win 8-6.  A disappointing start for Omaha.

ORU has a huge 5-run inning and takes back the lead at 6-2 in the bottom of the fifth.  Bryce Howe just breathed a sigh of relief.

VERY fortunate to squeak by with a win......great plays by Roark and Sonnier to end it.

Great win.  And nice to see Bogus and Mrs. Smith cheering from the box seats during the internet stream... :D

Looked to TheEagleman like Mrs. Smith was double fisting a couple Coors' Lights.....nah, It was probably just ginger ale.....getting that first game last night was huge, 6-5 over SDSU. Good effort by Howe who gave us 5.1 decent innings...Now we take on one of the hottest teams in the country, IPFW tonight at 6pm CDT....the Mastadons coming up with a 6 spot in the 9th yesterday to steal the win over Omaha and get their 11th win in a row....TheEagleman guessing it will be Nick Wood vs. IPFW tonight....Omaha vs. SDSU in an elimination game this afternoon......:eagles:

It's worth watching 30 seconds at the 4:00 minute mark.  Awesome plays to end the game!!

The #2 seed Mavericks in big trouble.....they have probably not mentally recovered from that 6 run 9th by IPFW yesterday......Omaha needs to wake up or they will be on the bus home in about 3 hours....:o

This ORU-IPFW contest tonight is really the game of the Tournament....TheEagleman thinks that the winner of this one will be headed to the NCAA tournament.....but that's pretty much obvious...it's just whoever wins is not likely to lose a DH on Saturday and the loser will have to burn another starter on Friday night........:eagles:

IPFW has been on fire the last few weeks.  Luckily, ORU has their best starter going tonight....Wood.  It would have been nice if Howe could have given you an inning or two more last night to save the bullpen a bit.

SDSU starter out w/elbow issues in the 4th.

Might not matter.....SDSU now up 5-0 in the 5th.....the Jacks are in control and appear like they will eliminate the 2 seed.....:o
