Finished 4th in B1G regular season last year and won the B1G tournament (B1G ranked 7th last year, just behind CUSA). Won a lot of close games last year, like us.
Not sure what graduation did to their team. Need to win this to make this Florida trip successful.

The link ODU provided for Live Stats hasn't worked the first two games. But hopefully this one will:

A step back from last year but still respectable; 6th in the preseason Big 10 poll.

Iowa leads 3-1 after 6.
We had bases loaded with 0 outs in the first and with 1 out in the 5th and failed to score both innings.

RE: 2018 ODU BASEBALL
Rough season so far. Good team batting average but not enough runs scored.
Also lost two starting pitchers to Tommy John surgery (Wilson and Fluke).

Walkoff inside the park homer yesterday by Kyle Battle. CF lost it in the sun it appears and Kyle hustled around the bases for the win!

speaking of ODU baseball, Yarbrough is getting a lot of work with the Rays this season and holding his own...in fact he's pitching against the O's on MASN as I type this...

RE: 2018 ODU BASEBALL
Too many injuries this past season. Pitching staff was hit before the season, and then lost some of the better bats in early April.

Looking forward to next season

Coach Finwood isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He's not anywhere close to dominating CUSA to merit him moving to a P5 job, and he's being fired from ODU in the foreseeable future.

He just signed a 4-year extension last summer.

Oh good! It's nice to know that mediocrity has been locked in.

When the extension was signed, ODU had just won 37 games (most since 2006), spent some time ranked in the top-25, won at least 30 in four of his six years, finished 2nd in the league and should have had a 2nd appearance under him (in a darn good baseball league) if not for 6 bids being stolen by underwhelming conference tourney winners.

This injury plagued year was brutally bad and I can't see him surviving another with that many losses. However, the extension was warranted.

I think if some fans had their way, ODU would only give their coaches one-year contracts and a quick boot if the most recent season didn't measure up.
