Softball RPI (5/7)

[GoneGolfin]

Kentucky not looking to help us out, down 6-1 to Georgia in the 5th with the game winning run at the plate

Kentucky makes it interesting with the go-ahead run on base in the 7th, but Georgia prevails 6-4. Unfortunately Florida State defeated NC State, though their RPI will take a small hit. Hopefully Georgia Tech can defeat FSU tomorrow.

Houston defeated Central Florida (nice win) today 6-2. Tulsa defeated Southern Miss ... and while the game will hurt their RPI, it helps the Cajuns' OWP.

Hopefully Arizona State can hang on and defeat Cal (leading 1-0 batting in the T5th).

Damn, AZ leading 2-0 bottom 6, but Cal has the bases loaded with one out.

Escobedo walks in two runs to tie the game. AZST changes pitchers with the bases still loaded.

Escobedo issues two based loaded two-out walks (the second after being up 0-2 in the count) to tie the game at 2-2. Popescue coming into the game to relieve Escobedo.

... and that is an example of how strong Cal is ... it is hard to hold them down the entire game. Arioto hits a two-run HR in the B7th to win 4-2 over ASU.

Boyd (ASU) and Arioto (Cal) are having quite a battle for National Player of the Year.

These remaining teams are not a real threat to the Cajuns. Washington? No chance. Their regular season is finished. Stanford finishes with a mediocre #71 Utah team that hurts their OWP (.5000, 26-26). Stanford will not be a problem. If South Florida were to get hot and go undefeated in the Big East Tournament, it is possible they catch the Cajuns ... but only if the Cajuns drop at least one game in the SBC Tournament.

I forgot to mention that Stanford lost the opening game of the series to Utah today, 6-0. No chance that any of #17 Washington, #18 Stanford, or #19 South Florida catches the Cajuns. #21 Syracuse also had a bad loss today against St. John's. #20 Hawaii would be a remote possibiity if they were able to meet and beat BYU twice in the WAC Tournament and the Cajuns lost their last two ... but even if this happened, it would be a remote possibility. The Cajuns were a full .0204 ahead of Hawaii entering tournament play ... .0184 ahead after the FAU game.

Looks like a host site at Lamson to me! :-)

Georgia Tech leads Florida State 3-0 T2nd (DirecTV channels), one out, runner on 2nd base.

Thanks for the reminder. Just put it on ESPN3. Remind me again, who do we want to win? GT right?

Sounds right. A win would make it tougher for Florida State to catch the Cajuns and help keep Georgia Tech in that Top 25 bonus tier.

Going to T5th Ga Tech leading 4-0

EDIT: 5-0 after a solo home run
