Yep, and the original start time was 1 pm: http://www.ecupirates.com/sports/m-baseb...12aaf.html

Amazing. They have to know about their own travel deadline ... they have it every getaway game!

6-5 5 USM two outs runners at the corner after force at second.

Crazy play as ball gets past infield on what looked like it would be caught in the air. As a result, runner on 1st thrown out at 2nd; 2 away. Tying run at 3rd; go ahead at 1st.

K for ballgame. USM hangs on to win 6-5 and share the title with us.

Game. UH loses. We tie the Golden Eagles for first and get the #1 seed in the CUSA tournament for whatever that is worth. Way to go Owls. Keep putting goose eggs on the board for the other team.

Congrats to the team for getting their first conference sweep when it mattered the most. I admit I didn't have much faith we could get the 1 seed but this year's team certainly seems to have more spunk perhaps than the Rice teams of the past two seasons.

So UAB is the 8 seed and will be our first round opponent in next week's conference tournament?

Note that Marshall scored 2 in T1 of the first game with two outs, then were shut out for the next 26 1/3 innings. Great job, Owls.
