It is still too early to tell about some of these teams, but the Aces have at least stabilized. Scoring some runs now. They are in line to win both of these games.

11-0 in the second game. Lots of baserunners late.
5-5 on the season now.

Good day for the baseball Aces with the sweep - outscoring Bowling Green 20-3 and only using three pitchers. Nick Smith with a seven inning complete game in the opener and Denu and Harris combine on a three hit shutout in the second game.
I see where Troy is 9-0. We came close to winning two of the three games that they beat us. I don’t think Troy has played a tough schedule but those losses don’t look quite so bad now. Kentucky, who gave us our fourth loss, is 6-2. And Eastern Michigan which we won two of three from is 5-4.
We are now on a five game winning streak now and 5-5 with another double header tomorrow against Bowling Green.

We are now on a five game winning streak now and 5-5 with another double header tomorrow against Bowling Green. Troy series counts as games but, by any measure, of little other value. A road trip to Alabama after probably playing nothing but pepper in the gym -- still, they could have won a couple of those games. Southern teams have a stacked advantage and the SEC has an inherent leg up both in recruiting and scheduling. They have better ballparks than most minor leagues do at the low level. All that combines to raise their ratings, make recruiting easier and attract big-league money. Teams north of Kentucky really need not apply to go to Omaha. So, take what we can get. This UE team has been fun to watch and inside the Valley, pretty good. The Valley is good baseball.

BG stood no chance. Vandy might be another story.

Pulling for a win and quieting the Vandy whistlers.

I have no illusions about beating or even staying close in this one. These games are what ballplayers live for -- to face pitching or hitting that challenges their own skills and talent. This game matters to Vandy because they already know they can get up for a series against Miss. State. What they don't want is to find themselves playing sloppy baseball. It's too easy to get trapped in that.
I am just glad the Aces play these games.

So far early on, the Aces are hanging in there. Shane Harris pitching up 1-0 in the 3rd. By the time you read this, the situation will be different. Kinda like nightfall comes after a long bit of sunshine.

7th inning 1-1. And you were worried this wouldn't end well?

Still tied 1-1 in the top of the 12th. Our guys are hanging tough against a top 10 team.

I wish I could be at the ballpark. I do notice that the SEC uses 4 umpires. Even the high minors don't do that. Not using the tiebreaker guy on 2nd base at this point makes little sense.

Vandy with 12 runners LOB. That probably doesn't happen often.
