Sun Belt Tournament action …

[CajunRage]

Who would we rather face in our first game tomorrow? I'm thinking ODU.

Agree. I feel good about southAl game 2 being a fluke but don’t want to test the theory.

[GoneGolfin]

ODU going to their closer (Gomez) in the 5th. He has been their top relief arm.

ODU going with their top bullpen arms in this one, in lieu of using a starter. South Alabama and Georgia State used the same strategy today.

Huge balk call. Instead of a groundout for the second out, the play is a no pitch. Stallings of ODU then proceeds to hit a two-run blast over the LF wall (well gone) to tie the game.

Or I’ll go for a 26 inning game with whoever winning. Haha

Is ODU winning better for us?

They can pitch. Runs will probably be tough to come by. But they scored exactly 1 run in the 3 games in Lafayette earlier this year.

If you mean RPI-wise, no. But at this point, it really doesn’t matter. Cajuns need to win a couple games to secure a 2 seed

Hopefully they spent some pitching tonight

As I mentioned, they threw their two best bullpen arms tonight (Bashara started and Gomez closed). Their closer came on in the 5th and finished the game.

But they do have other capable arms. Just need to play loose and execute.

Brian -

Any idea why Cajuns go Morgan over Hermann tomorrow vs. ODU?

Also - GA Southern is #67 RPI. Any chance they could move into the Top 60 withOUT a win over the Cajuns - maybe just by beating JMU twice and losing to the Cajuns twice? To give the Cajuns 3 more wins vs Q1.

I am not sure we know that Herrmann can even go in the tournament. If he does, it may not be in a starting role.

Possible. Of course, it is also possible for #43 JMU to get into the Top 40 with two losses to the Cajuns. But more possible for Georgia Southern due to how close #67 is to #60

Troy with a 2 out walk in the 1st leads to 2 runs.

Oh, those 2 out walks.

Oh, those 2 out walks.

Only thing worse is a lead off walk

Troy with a 2 out walk in the 1st leads to 2 runs.

Oh, those 2 out walks.

That 3-2 pitch to Tolley was very close. I thought the ump was going to ring him up. I am behind home plate.

[billbeck451]

ok what time is the game today and how do we watch it

[RaginScotsman]

Troy with a 2 out walk in the 1st leads to 2 runs.

Oh, those 2 out walks.

Maybe that's why they pitch to DBo.

Tolley walked in the first, the guy behind him hits a home run.

Tolley HPB in the 3rd, the guy behind him hits another home run.

Solos turn into crooked numbers.
