Back when we were a contender, we used to have threads giving the scores of other important games. OK, we're not a contender, but how about we still not some interesting results in this thread.

For starters:

> Behind an 8-run T1 and an 11-run T4 -- all earned runs -- Oral Roberts thumped LSU, 22-7, at The Box.

It was LSU's worst loss since 2007, when Florida beat them 19-3 in Coach Mainieri's first year with the Tigers. LSU hasn't given up more than 20 runs since 2001, when Ole Miss scored 23. (https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...cc658.html)

> Four walks in T8 gave UT the only run it needed to beat Houston at Schroeder Park.

But that was back we had important games.

Florida Gulf Coast blanked @FAU, 8-0.
Indiana State smacked @FIU, 13-2.
@Jacksonville State shut out USM, 6-0.
Single runs in B7 & B8 gave @Tulane a 6-5 win over WKU.
A 3-run T8 (1 run unearned) enabled Kennesaw State to beat @UAB, 3-2.

And TCU shutout and run ruled Texas State 10-0.

Given the few quality teams this year, and the lack of competitiveness of the games, I wonder if this event is long for the world.

Islanders and Red Raiders tied 1-1 in the 7th. Islander starter is still in and over 105 pitches now. The 1 run he gave up was unearned.

Hayden Thomas departs with 2 outs and bases loaded in T7. He threw 120 pitches. Score still 1-1 with bullpen coming in.

And a double clears the bases. Gotta feel bad for Thomas.
