Dr. Cornelius Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The expectation for ORU baseball should be to win the Summit League regular season and tournament every year. Something ORU was one win away from doing even in this down season. If ORU had been able to take advantage of all the stranded base runners in the first Omaha match up I believe they would have been the eventual tournament winner. This season was a perfect storm with improved opposing pitching in the Summit and 26 new additions to the roster. The real question will be if ORU can bounce back to form next season - something I don't think is out of the question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ORU can attest; DBU Is really good. Very respectable showing by UNO vs. UCLA; but it doesn’t get any easier facing Baylor in the elimination game today. Could be a quick trip to La-La Land...

Old Titan Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Yeah, that’s awful. Pretty obvious that after Kinney, the Omaha pitching drops way off. For perspective: ORU was 0-4 vs. Omaha in games that Kinney started in the regular- and post-seasons; yet 5-0 vs. the rest of the Mav starters.

theeagleman5 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Liberty and Dallas Baptist both made it to the finals of their regionals and lost to the host teams....the Flames to UNC and the Patriots to Texas Tech..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
