We were the home team in games 2 (FIU) and 7 (MT). Old Dominion was visitor in games 1 (MT), 5 (FIU) and 9 (MT). Old Dominion's first "home" game -- and our first as visitor -- was this morning's contest, Game 11. The current game (#13) evens the tally at two home/visitor games each.

ODU was home in game 9. As I explained earlier in the thread, they get home based on being visitor twice to our once.

Hit refresh. It is now up.

Yay! Thanks!

E1 and the runner moves to 3rd.
SF makes it 2-0.

Comedy of Errors.

Making it awfully easy for ODU...
Let's just go up and swing at the first pitch every time too, so we don't tax their pitchers.

Well, not a great start. Long way to go. One step at a time.

Can we have a do-over on the 1st inning?

Going to 2nd with our 4-5-6 up.

Ewing full count, double to the wall!
McDowell
Reeves

Mr. Ewing starts off the inning with a hit.

That's total crap. We're the #1 seed. We played an entire season to have an advantage in the playoffs. I could understand if ODU got one of the two games as home team, but we should be home team for at least one of these all-important games. It's crap. It makes a huge psychological difference and greatly impacts managerial strategy. #stupid #dumb #crap #stupiddumbcrap

Thanks for the correction. I see that's the case ... and d1baseball's listing of the tournament games, which I'd used, has it wrong.

Whoa, Noodle, don't confuse us with these complicated formulas.

I am getting a Saturday at Tulane vibe...

Yep. Why should a #5 seed team from the loser's bracket get its third home game before the #1 seed?

Ewing full count, double to the wall!

McDowell full count K
Reeves 2-1 count FO9, Ewing to 3rd
Byrd RBI single!!
Teykl

Attaboy Leon!

Byrd with clutch RBI single!

Big hit there, if nothing else for psychological reasons. Let's keep this freshman pitcher on the ropes (and our freshman off the ropes).

Byrd CS and we're on to the B2.

Two outs, 1-1 count Teykl at bat, I would have sent Byrd also.

Huh. A called strike 3 on a 1-2 count. Why the heck is Duplantier throwing that in the zone??
