    I agree with that. Double edged sword though. Our seed suffered because of playing a brutal schedule, but the brutality gave us the goods to knock off the #9 team in the country 2 out of 3 times in just a few days when it mattered most.

    We are better than Tulane, but it is what it is.

      Former Shocker Chuck Ingram, who cooled off as the year went on and fell to 9th in the Wildcat batting order, homered twice and drove in 5 in KState's weather delayed win vs La Tech. 19-4 Final.

      ECU and Wake, the 2 highest seeds, are facing off in an elimination game. 2 of the best pitchers in the country, Trey Yesavage for ECU and Chase Burns for Wake are battling. Both teams expected this matchup so they saved their ace. Neither thought it would be an elimination game, I'm sure. Burns is sitting 97-100 on his FB and his off speed stuff is all but unhittable.

      Unless he hangs one to uber douche Dixon Williams who just left the yard with a probable game deciding 3 run bomb. 4-1 ECU. Can't see Wake getting to Yesavage for 3 more runs.

        ECU absolutely IMPLODING.

        Inexplicably they pulled Yesavage with 1 out in the 8th. Beal couldn't get an out, but Groller did then Lundsford-Shenkman got out of the inning.

        To the 9th. WLS hit the first guy. Wallace in. Gets an out. single, single and it's 1st and 3rd, 4-2.

        Single. 4-3. Squeeze, ECU can't make the throw but runners stay. Loaded.

        Wallace out, Dilorenzo in.

        Ball. Ball. Strike. Foul. Ball, nearly a passed ball. Count is full.

        Ball 4 is fouled off.

        Ball. RBI. Tied. Bases still loaded. What a colossal Yoko Ono.

        Dilorenzo out. Ritchie in.

              Foul. Ball. Ball. Foul.

              Ground ball bleeder, ECU can't turn 2, 5-4 Wake.

              Vandy Boys get walked off by High Point and the Curse of Patty continues as the 'Dores go 2 and Q.


              Pitching change for ECU. Hodges in. 7 relievers couldn't get 5 outs for the Pirates. I think I see Dixon Williams throwing a tantrum and crying. Shame.


              Literal death by paper cut. End of the bat bloop double and it's 6-4 runners at 2nd and 3rd.

              Pirate fans blaming the AAC for banning megaphones.

                  HBP and the bases are loaded. Line drive to left is caught (or 3 more score) and the inning is over.

                  ECU will need 2 runs to keep their season going.

                      ECU is like Creighton basketball. Giant douchers. Legitimately good. **** the bed every postseason.

                        What has happened to ECU pitching? Injuries?

                          Also any team that saves their ace for game 2 deserves whatever they get.

                          That applies to both teams in this game, but it's hilarious that both teams are in this position

                            ECU returns the favor, soft grounder up the middle, dying quail to center, then JJC singles up the middle and it's 6-5 with runners on the corners and no out.

                            Dickon Williams up with a chance to tie the game or win it.

                            Wake's pitcher looks like a guy walking to his own execution. Don't see how they hang on here to win.

                            Ground ball weakside, against the stupid shift pulled in, ball bobbled by outfielder and JJC goes to 3rd.

                            HBP and they are loaded. This game is over. 6-6. Still no out.

                                ECU with runners at the corners, down 1, no outs. Don't blow this Wake!
