I believe our guys had a boulder on their shoulder after losing that series in Dallas.

Let’s not forget that Missouri State is undefeated in the winners bracket by out scoring its opponents (Illinois State, SIU, and Bradley) 33-8 in this tournament so far. They are coming off a huge win yesterday (19-3 over Bradley) and have more rest between games - they have played an extra game as the 6 seed (three total so far). They probably have a chip on their shoulders as people are not giving them a chance. This is a dangerous game.
At this point of the tournament depth of pitching comes into play. I’m presuming Caleb R. is pitching for us today. We need at least a solid five innings out of him. Hopefully the bats have some offense left in them.
The loser of this game will play right afterwards against the winner of the DBU/SIU game at 7 pm. We will be down to two teams tonight. Our chances are much better to win the tournament if we win at 3 pm today.
Go Aces!!!

Obviously, Grey is not pitching Saturday, and most likely, Smith and Parks won’t either, but all other pitchers should be available. Plus, as was stated earlier, Smith could possibly throw a couple of innings on Sunday, and there is a possibility of Grey throwing a couple on three days rest if needed. With our top relievers still unused, we are in great shape, while MSU is short on pitching at this point. Take nothing for granted though.

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain why Shane Harris got the W for 1 inning pitched when the Aces already had a massive lead instead of Nick Smith for 4 innings pitched? I casually follow baseball and don’t understand why Nick wouldn’t get the W.

SP must complete at least 5 innings to be declared the WP in a traditional 9 inning game...Nick needed 3 more outs to be the WP. WC obviously felt Smith held greater value in the next couple days.
On the other hand, ISU HC Mitch Hannahs had intended to only allow Matt Jachec to throw 5 or 6 innings v. Valpo, but given his PERFECT GAME thru 8 innings, he left him in until the Valpo leadoff PH broke up Jachec's "dream." Hannahs didn't wanna destroy this rare occasion.
ISU's now history...UE's undefeated.

DBU-SIU going at each other's throats - tied @ 2 in the 7th. SIU just broke through to score 3 with the bases loaded. 5-2 SIU!

Whew...close one! Steidl lost his mojo in the 9th. He'd thrown Tues. v. Mo St. - 2.1 innings & 51 pitches. He had 70 today so he's finished for the tournament

Reinhardt already w/ 2 BB, the last to the #9 hitter...UE better keep a "short leash!" This what killed ISU this season...

So much for that "short leash"...not short enough.
