Rice goes down quietly in T1, first ODU batter reaches on a walk... CS, 1B as ODU leaves one stranded to end the inning.

Still scoreless in the 4th. Both teams have left some runners on base.

We're now playing a DH tomorrow - I guess because of weather concerns for Sunday. The rain chances don't look awful but it will be much cooler on Sunday.

OK, just show up,

Wow. We’ve struck out a dozen times in just 6 innings tonight.

Canterino has a lot of K's himself. 1-1, heading to the 7th.

Yep, a dozen himself—thank goodness

Comeaux homers to give Rice 2-1 lead in the 7th.

6 innings, 6 posts. When was the last time that happened to Rice baseball?

Jefferies into pitch the 7th - Canterino leaves after 106 pitches in 6 innings.

We've been doing this all year long. Our approach at the plate is appallingly bad.

That's going to happen when you get that many strikeouts.

Collins with a homer to leadoff the 8th. 3-1 Rice.

In context, that deserves a few old school dancing bananas.

How many pitches does Jefferies have? Hard to tell from the camera angle - looks like he's throwing fastballs, mixing up location.

He's got a solid curveball, and I think he throws two different fastballs-- a 4-seamer and a 2-seamer.

BTW, he had a 1-2-3 8th inning, and we head to the 9th up 3-1.

However, he's effective because he does a very good job of spotting his pitches.

Indeed, a solid curve ball.

Rice wins 3-1 behind lock down pitching from both Canterino (W#2) and Jefferies (Save #3). Cameaux 3-5 with the game-winning HR.

Glad to see Canterino get the win after yet another fantastic performance. A win is a win, but holy cow—NINETEEN STRIKEOUTS???

Nice road win.

4th time this year we've strikout 15+ times in a game.
