Our old conference mate, the Central Florida Knights, return to Reckling Park sporting a 6-4 early season record, but limping after losing their last four games. They opened the season beating up on Siena x 3, Bethune-Cookman and North Florida at home, outscoring them by a combined 53 - 22 score (averaging better than 10 runs per game), then after beating TAMU-CC to open the Corpus Christi tournament, they lost back to back games to Texas State and Michigan State before losing a pair of home and home mid-week games top #1 ranked Florida.

Here's their schedule and results to date....

Tonight, Jon Duplantier goes against So RHP Cre Finfrock (2 starts, 1-0, 12.0 IP, 3.00 ERA, .136 BAA, 6 hits, 4 BBs, 19 Ks. He's clearly a power pitcher with a very high strikeout frequency. Their Saturday starter, Jr RJP Robby Howell has even more impressive stats (2 starts, 1-0, 11.2 IP, 0.00 ERA, .154 BAA, 6 hits, 3 BBs, 10 Ks).

Here's the UCF game notes for the series...

Starting lineup:

Warren
Lewis
Chandler
Proctor
Wunderlich
Teykl
Myers
Staab (DH)
Kopycinski

Glare delay

Listening to JP Heath for the first time this year and he doesn't disappoint me. He mentions UCF heads to Houston three times this year, including their trip to Corpus Christi last week.

1-2-3 inning for Duplantier with 3 K's. Good start.

Maybe they had a flight connection in Houston during the trip to Corpus?

Three bad swings by Chandler.

I really just can't stand it.

Runner on 3rd with no outs and we can't get him in. 2 really poor at bats by Chandler and Proctor. Not a single good swing on the ball.

Owls get runner to 3rd with no outs and leave him there. Grrrr!

KKK KKK

Sounds like a Trump rally.

Both pitchers dealing. No score thru 2. I think 10 K's in the game combined?

Error gives them a base runner. No surprise.

It's like watching a train wreck. They score after a bobble. Over throw of first. Fielders choice. Then a single.

Error in T3 for the Owls results in an run for UCF
Going to B3 we're trailing 0-1.
Duplantier looking pretty good.

Single, successful sac bunt to start B3. Need t get Staab home.

And Warren doubles him home!

Warren RBI double. 1-1.

UCF not doing much better defensively than us. 2 hits in this inning that were close to errors. Runners on the corner, 1 out. Chandler HBP so bases juiced.

Proctor singles in a run. 2-1, bases still loaded w 1 out. UCF w some bullpen action.
