Rice now winning 2-0 in the bottom of the third. Hopefully we can hold on and even the series.

Rice up 6-2 on ECU B7

Rice wins 7-2 series tied 1-1. Rice had better pitching today. But, much like yesterday it was close till the later innings.

USM starts its weekend series at 6 pm tonight and finishes with a DH Sunday. The rain has moved out and it should be a perfect night minus the soaked outfield.

FIU host Manhatten

Rice host ECU
UAB at Creighton
La Tech at Corpus Christi

Looking briefly at matchups and realized there's several matchups that can benefit CUSA with RPI/quality wins.

ODU (32) at WVU (42)
Rice (91) host ECU (36)
UAB (161) at Creighton (28)
USM (20) host Samford (49) ---- if it ever stops raining in Hattiesburg
UTSA (21) host Gonzaga (38)

Of the series above I singled out as big ones on the weekend here's the updated results:

ODU (32) at WVU (42) -- ODU lost 2 of 3
Rice (91) host ECU (36) -- Rice won 2 of 3
UAB (161) at Creighton (28) -- UAB lost all 3
USM (20) host Samford (49) -- USM won G1. Currently tied after 8 in game 2 with G3 to follow later today
UTSA (21) host Gonzaga (38) -- lost first 2 and trails 6-1 in B3 of final game of series
One I unintentionally left out was FAU hosted Rutgers. FAU won 2 of 3 and they currently have an RPI of 52 while Rutgers is 59

USM blows a 6-2 1st inning lead and loses 10-8. G2 today starts around 4:45-5:00 pm CST
UTSA trails 9-1 in B5
