Our opponents are averaging just over 6 runs per game this year. Our 500 record(close to it) seems to mirror our average runs scored vs. runs by opponents. Wins may continue to be by close scores.

IMO, this game was far more significant than it first appears if you only see "Oral Roberts" on the jersey.
This was our first home game.
This was our first top-100 RPI win.
WSU's RPI jumped up to 41 in Warren Nolan.
Coming into this game, ORU was 63 RPI (IIRC) -- they are now 75.
ORU is ranked #9 in the country in batting average
ORU is ranked #9 in the country in triples per game
ORU is ranked #16 in the country in on base percentage
ORU is ranked #21 in the country in hits
ORU is ranked #29 in the country in scoring
ORU is ranked #30 in the country in slugging percentage
ORU is ranked #32 in the country in runs
I don't know that ORU will end up anywhere near any of the stats when it's all said and done, but for now at least, this was an important confidence building game that was never going to be a cakewalk. We defended our turf like you would hope a rebuilding team would today.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!
