WSU vs. Illinois State, MVC Tournament CHAMPIONSHIP Game Thread 7:07 CST

[WSUwatcher]

I know it's hind sight, but with a 12-0 lead, if Brummett doesn't throw those 38 pitches in the bottom of the 5th, would he have been available for an inning or two?

Considering that it just happened Thursday, probably not. Who do you think he is, Charley Boyce?

Checking the area weather, the forecast doesn't look good at all. The hourly forecast has rain starting in just a few hours and for the most part...never stopping.

[WuDrWu]

Good luck today guys!


Play like a Champion!



Go Shocks!

Good luck to the guys today. I'm hoping for a big win. I think the guys might be playing for a contract extension today as well as a birth to a regional.

The decision - whichever way it goes - does not hinge on this game. The die has been cast be ADES. BTW, a contract extension is not in the deck, only early termination or the final contracted season.

Oh, and it's berth.

I would say if you are an Illinois State Redbird you probably should be feeling very good about things except for one very big thing -- This is the Year of the Shockers!

The juju seems to indicate this is so. Sux to be a Redbird.

It has been raining all afternoon. It just stopped. It is still very cloudy out and looks like it start back up at any time. It is also plenty cold out.

I assume the tarp is on the infield but are the couch cushions in place in the outfield?

Nice spelling, 85, but you're assuming DW was talking about the coaches' contracts. Maybe he was referring to (some of) the players themselves.

I don't usually get too excited about baseball but this team has rallied after losing the first game of the MVC tourney and has earned the opportunity to play in the championship game on FSN. I will be tuned in. Go Shox!!!

Good job FSN.They had all of the batting averages wrong on the lineup graffic.

[MadaboutWu]

Way to leg out the potential double play ball. Shox up 1-0!

[tru2thaduce]

Lets do this Elam!

[ShockerFever]

Way to scratch one across.

Three pretty defensive plays starting with Harbutz makes catching a rocket look routine and ending with Dearman's excellent catch and throw across his body.
