Easter Sunday is a perfect time for turning corners, fresh starts, #RiceRising, possibly even winning conference series's.

1pm for the home standing first pitch.

Until then, lets enjoy the sultry sounds of Herb Alpert with this special Rice Owls edition of "Rise":

Let's go Rice Owls, Rise!
Let's beat Southern Miss
Goodbye listlessness
Hello dominance
It could be Easter Bliss
We can still win Conference
Let's go Rice Owls, Rise!
We're still the best birds
College baseball's ever heard-
Of. Is that so absurd?
Let's go Rice Owls, Rise!
Up To the top- spot-
Where the Eagles tried to plop
If they think they're staying, well, they're not!
Ah- Win, win, win, win, win

From D1Baseball

Upset of the day: Rice over No. 16 Southern Miss

Yes, it’s weird to have this in the big upset category, but it’s the reality of the situation with the Owls improving to just 13-24 overall with an 11-4 win over Southern Miss. From the start, you could tell it wasn’t going to be a great day for the Golden Eagles. USM righthander Hayden Roberts sat 89-91 and up to 92 mph with his fastball early in the game, but he couldn’t consistently command the pitch in the lower half of the zone and the slider wasn’t biting as usual. As a result, the Owls pounded Roberts with smacking three doubles and finishing the game with four hits, while Darryn Sheppard hit the ball hard and finished the contest with three hits (one a double) and two RBIs. Meanwhile, righty Willy Amador, who has struggled much of the season, was outstanding out of the bullpen. What I saw today at Reckling Park what we expected from the Owls coming into the season. What a bizarre year in West University.

Worth noting that USM has yet to use their ace closer Nick Sandlin (.33 ERA, .130 BAA, 27IP)

Again, as I said, this was pretty much a no-brainer. Otto has thrown just 1 pitch all week, and we have no mid-week game coming up (with mid-week games now rendered meaningless anyway).

So far this reliever not a huge mystery. Every batter making solid contact. Now 4-1 good guys.

Tough error on Dane. Ball right on the foul line. Would have been a tough play if he had caught it cleanly.

A game of bad pitching and worse pitching. Which team is which will decide it.

JP mentioned that Otto was adjusting to "a new arm angle" this year. What's the rationale for this change ... and could it be responsible for his relatively erratic pitching this season? Quite a few of his pitches today were high.
