Tourney time; MT faces UTSA

 

[SpaceRaider]

DNJ:

Who must step up for MT at C-USA tourney?

 

[SpaceRaider]

Raiders lead 3-1 after three complete innings.

 

[BlueRaider95]

 

[BlueRaider95]

UTSA batted around in the top of the 5th to take a 6-3 lead but MT has scored 2 in the bottom of the inning to get back within 1 at 6-5.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Raiders at bat in bottom of 6th, trailing 8-5.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Raiders trail 9-5 bottom of the eighth inning

 

[SpaceRaider]

Raiders lose. Face either Rice or FIU in losers bracket Thursday morning at 9am

 

[blueboro007]

Looks like another disappointing end to our baseball season.

 

[C-Bow]

Rice actually lost today so MT will need to knock off the top seed to keep moving...

 

[BlueRaiderBoy]

How can the MT Pitching staff give up 3 HRs in one game to UTSA?

 

[bigbadjohn45]

Rice actually lost today so MT will need to knock off the top seed to keep moving...

I think we beat Rice earlier this season, so maybe we can pull another out against them.

Raiders up 4-0 on Rice in the 4th - I'm trying to listen (not a huge BB fan but had the time to tune in today) but who the hell is Dick's color man. Awful - talks over Palmer and it seems he is trying to make the world aware of just how much he knows. Grates on my last nerve. The broadcast have been much better with just Dick in earlier games I have caught.

Regardless, Go Raiders!

It's Tony Stinnett and he is awful on the radio. He doesn't know what he's talking about half the time and when he does he only knows because it's something very basic. Dick hasn't had much help this year on the broadcasts, everybody they've put on there has been bad.

MT now up 4-1 top 6.

 

[MTFNBY5]

I've heard the name - What is his bio?

 

[SpaceRaider]

Top of the seventh, Raiders come to bat, with a 4-3 lead

 

[BlueRaider95]

I've heard the name - What is his bio?

From his twitter bio: "Assistant Media Relations Director, Middle Tennessee State University My sports: @MT_WBB @MT_Baseball @MT_WomensTennis" Don't know much more about him except he has very little baseball knowledge.

 

[C-Bow]

Rice has tied it up at 4 in the bottom of the 7th. Owls still batting..

 

[BlueRaider95]

Rice took the lead in the 8th but has caught a case of the 2006 Detroit Tigers in the 9th making errors on back to back MT bunt attempts. Game now tied.

 

[C-Bow]

Raiders take the lead on a wild pitch! MT up 6-5 heading to the bottom of the 9th.

 

[BlueRaider95]

After what sounded like an awful obstruction call MT takes a 6-5 lead on a wild pitch. 3 outs to go!

 

[BlueRaider95]

LOL and #1 seed Rice is gone!!! They'll still get an at large bid but I'm glad we'll have a new champion this year. Raiders will play FIU/UTSA loser tomorrow.

 

[C-Bow]

Weird ending but MT survived and advanced. Good resiliency to battle back.

 

[MTBig Blue]

Wow! We needed a little luck in there but I'll take it.

[SpaceRaider]

Raiders win 5-4, face FIU at 9am.

 

[C-Bow]

Another late game comeback!

 

[MTsumner92]

Surprised we are still in it. Who is left?

 

[C-Bow]

MT plays FIU tomorrow morning. If MT wins, they'll reconvene later in the evening and play again. Winner advances to the championship game.

On the other half of the bracket you have UAB awaiting the winner of FAU and USM (FAU is leading 5-3 in the 6th). Not sure if the winner of tonight's game will have to beat UAB twice to advance or not.

Basically, MT is in the Final Four.

 

[SpaceRaider]

If we win two games on Saturday, will likely head down for the Championship on Sunday to support these guys.

 

[SpaceRaider]

A bi g hole early. Down 7-0 and FIU not done in the top of 3rd. Foriest loaded the bases, walked a run before he was pulled, late too late IMO. Alton came in and delivered up a grand slam.

Hopefully McGuire has some decent pitchers in the group of recruits he's bringing in.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Alton done, Slatton now in with score now 8-0.

 

[SpaceRaider]

FIU has batted around in the inning.

 

[RaiderDawg78]

This team has enough quality pitching for 2 or 3 games, but just doesn't have the depth for more than that. I agree Space - pitching depth and quality has to improve.

That was as poorly pitched an inning you could have in tournament play.

 

[C-Bow]

Raiders got 1 back in B3 and had the bases loaded with 2 outs and Allen popped out. Needed something more there..

8-1 FIU to the 4th.

 

[MTFNBY5]

Sad that it appears the 8th seeded team has more pitching depth than the team which led the conference all year. Three good starters and then it apparently falls off precipitously. Was hoping we could somehow find a way to tomorrow.

 

[SpaceRaider]

We're going to be run ruled

MT massively overachieved this year while FIU underachieved. Don't let the seeding fool you. I do hope we have some pitching depth coming in next year. It was the downfall all season.
