Yes the overall record is 16-12 and they are 2-1 in the Valley.

[1972Shocker]

Shockers up 8-0 after 3 complete innings. I think the Shox woke up between games.

Perhaps the baseball team decided it was time to Play Angry!

They sure looked like it in the second game. In the first game they looked like they were sleep walking.

The game is all the way for The Shox and they had proved themselves after all the sarcasm,They straight got the lead and continued it till the mid way and it is great to see the match.

This series against Illinois St might turn out to be very important. Since WSU took the series from the Redbirds, Illinois St has swept Indy St and taken 2 out of 3 against the Bears. They seem to be the hot team right now.

If the Redbirds end up tieing the Shox for first, WSU would own the tie breaker.

Redbirds lose to Evansville tonight 3-2 at Normal. They drop to 11-5 and remain 1 1/2 games behind WSU.

Illinois St pummels Ue today 17-3. The magic number for the Shox over Ill St is 2. Any combination of Shocker wins or Illinois St losses totaling 2 guarantees the Shox the #1 spot in the Valley tourney. That magic number only apples to Ill. St. While MoSt can't pass up the Shox (the Shox own the tiebreaker with the Bears), Cu could pass up the Shox if the Jays beat the Shox on Sunday and then sweep the Bears next week.

Illinois St beats Ue 14-4 today in Normal. They travel to SIU next weekend. The Shox magic number is now 1. So if SIU loses one game at Carbondale next weekend, WSU will be the #1 seed in the Valley tourney. Illinois St will need to sweep SIU to bump the Shox to the #2 slot. The Shox can finish no worse than 2nd in this year's conference race.

I believe you mean if SIU wins one game at Carbondale next weekend.

[shox1989]

Yes you are right. I mean one SIU win or one ILSU (red) loss.
