Pitching was very good today. But 4-9 in the lineup went 0-22 which is really rather unheard of.

Just noticed the baseball team still wearing Adidas uniforms. Wonder why? Wonder if they don’t have 4 sets of uniforms from Nike yet so they had to use some old ones? I have no clue as to why, but that is my pure guess. We are on the road for 4 games in 4 days and maybe we had no choice.

USI leading South Alabama 3-0 in the 3rd. Hope USI will win this game. Evan when we were winning 75% ofourgames 10-15 years ago we started slow because northern schools can’t play outside year round. Usually we would start rolling in spring time after we had several games in. Some bigger schools in the north have indoor domes to practice but we don’t have that. I’m pretty sure the best we can do is practice in the old PAC. That’s much different than outside.

Walks starting to pile up here, let’s see if we can escape this inning without much damage.
Escaped with only 1 run. Probably see the bullpen here soon.

Double and then a 2 run homer puts us down for the first time 4-3 in the bottom of the 7th.

USI (0-3) drops a fight game to USA. The pitching was solid all in all today. Only 4 hits with 11 strikeouts did us in.

Not looking good down 5-0. Not sure what to think so far about this years team. The pitching seems better, but we cant score runs. We were down 3-0 yet had more hits at the time. Between men’s basketball and men’s baseball I am frustrated from the results so far. I don’t expect to be top 3 in either as a transition team, but we are struggling to even win…period. The women’s teams seem to be finding success sooner and in several sports compared to the men’s teams. Not sure if the 4 year ban is scaring off male athletes more than females or if it’s just coaching not getting the right guys. Both baseball and basketball coaches have had success in the past so not sure why they both are struggling currently. If you would have asked most fans 2 years ago which programs at USI would be the most successful in D1, I’m betting most would have said men’s basketball and baseball. I’m not going to go on a rant about firing everyone but something needs to change soon. The baseball facilities are on the lower end of D1 but he SEA is top notch for a mid major. Neither should be a barrier for getting good D1 talent.

It’s going to take 4 good recruiting classes in a row to be competitive as OVC baseball is stronger than basketball.

Bases loaded no outs and we don’t score.
