SDSU at ORU

Recommended Posts

The 9-7 Jacks are in Tulsa for a 3 game series at JLJ this weekend....hopefully the weather will hold out; there are thunderstorms in the forecast for Friday and Sunday.....ORU has won 4 in a row and SDSU 3 in a row after sweeping at Omaha last weekend...their game on Tuesday  vs. Mount Marty (???) was cancelled due to weather....hard to respect any team that schedules a school named Mount Marty but they also play Waldorf (salad?) and Dakota Wesleyan....but I digress.... so both teams undefeated in the Summit and the winner of this series will come out in first place...ORU is 13-7.....GO BLUE!!!....:eagles::oru-logo::eagles:

Tied 6-6 after 11 innings last night. Called due to lightning in the area. They'll finish up today before Starting game two. Big game opportunity to set a tone for the rest of the weekend and conference season.

By the way.....it was Sam Grellner who got the game winning single in the 13th inning of the suspended game....a big win that carried momentum over to the 2nd game....:eagles:

what's amazing is they are doing it without an ace....much less an arm that can go out and give them 7 or 8 innings a start.

they basically tell the starters "go give us 5 or 6 and the pen will take us home."

not sure you can seriously compete in a regional that way, but they are off to a very solid start of the season.

I kinda like it, it also seems like the least pressure we've put on our starting pitching in a long time. There's no expectation that any starter is going to go deep, so everyone should be ready to pitch a high leverage situation at any time. And this year we have the defense and, at times, offense to back them up.

But, I agree, no telling how that will translate come regional time.
