NCAA Houston Regional Game 4 - Louisiana vs. Houston

[CajunFan3406]

I was speaking with Brenn Conrad at the hotel last night. He said that Milhorn so wants the ball. His confidence is booming. That confidence is only growing as he delivered again.

Romero has impressive stuff. That ESPN gun could not have been correct. I have seen Romero consistently in the 93-94 mph range earlier in the year. He seemed to be throwing hard today, based on my little iPhone screen (was at an outdoor concert this afternoon).

Romero's velocity on his fastball was up and consistent for the entire game, even into the 9th. He started to lose command when he faced Butler in the 9th and that was ultimately his undoing.

You could tell he was beginning to lose his command in the 8th inning. Cajuns went into the 9th inning patient, as they did vs. Rice.

This team has provided some of the greatest moments in our sports history. Hope they loving the moment

Here's the deal. We couldn't score because Houston has only scored one run. That would completely ruin our ninth inning comeback. So three more outs and we are set for our ninth inning heroics.

Nice!

Folks,

With the win on Friday and today, I think our RPI has moved up into the range to where we can get an NCAA bid without winning the conference tournament. No, wait ...

LOL... as for the Rice forum... Rice did have a pitching meltdown... but I don't consider UH to have had a meltdown. Romero pitched a gem, gassed out, and since we worked hard to keep it a 1 run contest defensively... our patient/good batting punished UH in one inning... just like their only punishment of us (solo HR) was in a single inning (and required no patience).

Completely agree. We grinded out a win today. Pitchers and defense kept us in the game against a guy who was dominating. We waited it out, stayed within 1, and when he started to wear down, we got it done.

Rice's relievers soiled themselves and we stole that one. Either way, the goal is to advance, and that's what we've done.

Who's pitching would we prefer facing? Of course, that's before knowing exactly who will be used up tonight.

The 9th inning closer/stopper/reliever of either team... the sooner the better.

I am not as sure who we should hope to win/lose, but I do know that I want them to go to extra innings. Lots and lots of extra innings.

[SlappyCajun]

I think I generally prefer Rice to win this game. After all, I have to believe that Houston was a regional host for a reason.

Go rice. They are playing on fumes. They showing lots of heart but they look ran down. Extra Innings lime 15 would be awesome
