State takes game 3 today, 9-1 and the series win. Jeff Lacher allowed 5 hits and only 1 earned run to improve to 6-0 on the year. I have a good feeling that he will be on the mound in the second game of the tourney, he is doing well, but only recently got the nod for a Sunday start, he had been starting all of the midweek games. State finishes the regular season with a record of 39-16-1 and ends conference play at 17-12. Despite the loss, the Tide roll into the tournament, uh, pun intended, Florida's loss today eliminated them and in a shocking development, the entire West is in the tourney with USC and Vandy, good deal for the Dores, in as the East teams.

Congrats Dawgs!!! The Rebs are struggling, but it ain't over yet!! Maybe we can at least take the Alab....err, the other states' teams in series.
