TrueBlue82 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 NIU is not a very good team. A record of 14-40 last season and picked tenth in the MAC this year. They had some significant fundamental flaws in the first two games, including a few untimely errors, gave up a lot of walks, and allowed stolen bases (TWICE!) when the ORU runner on first was picked off, but the infielders couldn't complete the play. Very glad that we held tough today, as a loss to NIU would not look good on the resume later this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGrip, OKCEagle, and I were following the live stats during timeouts in Mabee. Looks like they got out of quite a jam in the top of the 9th also (bases loaded with 1 out) after the comeback to tie it in the 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing they didn’t agree to make game 2 a 7-inning affair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 4-0 is a great start even if against a weak opponent....and nice to see the comeback on Saturday Night after getting 2 hit for the first 7 innings....Hogan and McCroskey off to fine starts with 3 HRs each.....pitching has been very good.....bring on Missouri State and Texas State this week.....both are upgrades in opposition...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
