As much as I want a sweep.. it's been a long week for USm, so I'll say 2 of 3.
I'm REALLY tempted to say ODU sweeps Charlotte, but I'm gonna side with 2-3
Rice on the road? I'm picking FAU to take 2-3 if not sweep
Marshall takes MTSU in a sweep
FIU with 2-3 over UAB
And I'm gonna say that UTSA pulls off the 2 out of 3 upset (of sorts) vs. Tech in LAT's territory.

Let's give it a go

#27 USM (5-1) at #239 WKU (3-3) - USM 3-0 over WKU
#41 Charlotte (4-2) at #48 ODU (5-1) Charlotte 2-1 over ODU. Best series this weekend
#108 Rice (1-5) at #120 FAU (5-1) FAU 2-1 over Rice. But could see it flip
#149 MT (1-5) at #111 Marshall (3-3) Marshall 2-1 over MT
#180 UAB (3-3) at #142 FIU (3-3) FIU 2-1 over UAB
#96 UTSA (2-4) at #55 La Tech (1-5) LA TECH 2-1 over UTSA

No question I am a homer, but I think either team would have trouble sweeping this series. ODU has more wins, but Charlotte has played a much harder schedule and has the better RPI. ODU has home field advantage, but we have the better hats. I think the hats take it. Charlotte wins 2.

I agree with what you said about Charlotte playing the tougher schedule. I think it is a series that is a toss-up, so I give the edge to the home team with it coming down to Sunday after both teams swap wins with their aces going. Shame we aren't getting Bainbridge vs. Laws, by the way.

ODU 2/3 over Charlotte
USM 2/3 over WKU
Rice finally shows signs of life and gets 2/3 at FAU
Marshall 2/3 over MTSU
FIU 2/3 over UAB
Tech picks up the lone sweep of the weekend over UTSA

Game 1 of Charlotte v ODU moved to Saturday due to the buckets of rain we're getting in Norfolk.

After 4.5 Tech trails UTSA 2-5. Pretty sure we've stranded at least 1 runner every inning. Have outhit UTSA 8-5.

Southern Miss beats WKU 6-1.

Sucks that Tech has tanked, was counting on that sweep to be 3 quality wins.

So Tech hits an RBI triple with nobody out, crowd goes crazy, and THEN AFTER THE RUN SCORED and the play was over the homeplate umpire calls it a "foul ball". The ball was unquestionably a fair ball.

According to Isabella on Twitter, it was fair by several feet.

And the Tech coach was tossed. Tech gets no runs in the 8th. What a screw job.

Wow, I don't watch a lot of baseball but that seems strange, no?

Lotta strange things happen at Tech like being able to squeeze over 2500 fans into a stadium that seats just slightly less that 1200.

McCarty with 11 Ks and 0 BBs in 8 innings of work. Can he pitch tomorrow?

Short little write up about the USM win tonight. McCarty has been just dominant vs WKU in his 3 career starts vs them.

The capacity of J.C. Love Field is 2000, so I'm not sure what you are referring to here.
