Well, as my Southern Miss friends would say, the Monarchs have truly risen to the occasion and TTT. Monarchs trailing 8-1 in the fourth.

Catch the fever.

FIU getting you guys this year. Sneaky bastards

Rice is leading MT 4-0 in the early innings.

Through 4, Tech leads Marshall 3-1.

Walker with the grand slam! Now trailing 10-9, still batting in the 7th. The Fat Lady ain't sung yet!

Update: Bishop homers -- now leading 11-10 and still batting in the 7th.

Hell of a comeback win. Monarchs take it 11-10.

UTSA wins 5-3

Marshall took a 4-3 lead, but Tech took it right back 5-4. Gladu on a 15 game hitting streak.

Rice takes the series with a 4-0 win vs. MT.

14-13 now in conference.

So much for the TTT I offered up. Monarchs score 9 in the seventh and take the win, 11-10. Sneaky Bastards indeed!

Middle strands FIFTEEN baserunners.

The whole 2017 Blue Raider baseball season...

Should be a really great series in Boca next weekend.

FINAL

Tech 6
Marshall 4

FINAL

Southern Miss 8
UAB 0

Golden Eagles sweep the series and clinch the CUSA regular season title.

"Hot Dog! How about that?"

In the last 41.1 innings (over the last two weekends), USM starting pitching has allowed three earned runs and just 21 hits.

UAB and MT join WKU as teams eliminated from a CUSA postseason berth. Charlotte, UTSA, Rice, FIU and Marshall fighting for the last spots but one will be left out. Here's current 5 through 9 standings (USM, ODU, FAU and LT clinched already) with CUSA record, final opponent and in ( ) is records vs teams 5 through 9

If Louisiana Tech is fourth, I think it would be better to be the six seed. I'd rather take my chances against ODU and FAU than run up against La Tech and then Southern Miss.

Let's go with this projection. I'll call it "mini-doomsday".

A. Marshall sweeps Charlotte
B. FIU sweeps WKU
C. USM sweeps UTSA
D. Rice wins just 1 of 3 at UAB

RESULT?
5-way tie for fifth place!

T5 - Rice 15-15 (6-3 within the tied group for seed #5)
T5 - FIU 15-15 (7-5 within the tied group for seed #6)
T5 - Marshall 15-15 (5-4 within the tied group for seed #7)
T5 - UTSA 15-15 (5-7 within the tied group for seed #8)
T5 - Charlotte 15-15 (3-9 within the tied group -- does not qualify for tournament)
