After trailing 4-0 early in the game against Ohio State, the Bearcats come back to win 5-4 with a walk-off HR in the 9th.

Sold old crowd on hand tonight.

Record crowd of about 2500, great atmosphere. Glad we stayed through the 9th, that place went nuts. Better than most of the basketball games over the last 3 years. I hope mlb stays locked out for awhile, would be good for UC to get some exposure.

Like television on Bally Sports?

I couldn't be there last night but a great victory to make it four in a row over OSU.

Many locals haven't noticed that AAC baseball has been consistently better ranked than the B10 most years. No matter, UC now moves to the Big 12 which often resides alongside the SEC at the top of the college baseball world. Here's hoping this longstanding series with OSU continues. With last night's crowd and what the OSU website described as a game against the Buckeyes' "in-state rival" let's see a home and home every year.

If the warm weather holds, this weekend series with Northwestern should be fun too. Hope to see lots of black and red in the stands.

Yea the AAC is a solid baseball conference, but the Big 12 is even a jump there too.

Baseball? It’s 18 degrees and I got another 7 inches of snow yesterday.

UC wins game 1 of a DH with Northwestern 5-4. The Bearcats are now 4-3.

Game 2 starts at 4pm. Can watch on ESPN+ or go to the ballpark.

'Cats up 3-0 after 1 inning against their "ace" who entered the game with a 1.00 ERA. Let's get the sweep today!

Watching at Shorts Brewery in Bellaire Michigan….


UC Chain of Lakes Alumni Association meeting (me and the missus).

UC was up 3-2 after four and a half, but Northwestern puts up six runs in the bottom of the fifth. Score is now 8-3.

UC scored 5 in the 8th to tie it up but gave up 2 in the 9th and lost game 2 10-8.

This Bearcat team can really hit and drive in runs but it appears pitching will be a work in progress. The outcome of todays doubleheader may tell us more as we see if there is a stopper(s) in the bullpen.

Honest question. Why does college baseball start so early? Why in February? I’m guessing it has to do with finishing before the end of the semester or something but the northern teams are at such a big disadvantage compared to the teams in the south.

That is exactly why, unfortunately no fix.

Sad, but true. Michigan was runner up in '19 but to find a "northern" champion you have to go back to Ohio State in 1966! The southern and western schools tend to dominate the College World Series.

Big 12 baseball will be very competitive and has its share of collegiate champions. Last season, it was the #2 RPI conference; our American was #5 and the Big 10 was #11.

While Cincinnati is no farther south than Missouri, IU, or U. of Illinois, UC will play more road games in the sunny south than any Big 10 team and may gain some recruiting traction in a higher profile baseball conference.

My hope is, UC's stature in the Big 12 nets more interesting regional rivalry games against non-conference P5 opponents, specifically, IU, PU, UK, UL, and OSU. Based upon the record crowd for Wednesday night's hastily scheduled replacement game with the Buckeyes, any of those opponents should create more fan interest in Bearcat baseball than even very viable, but smaller "brand" AAC opponents such as ECU and USF.

People hate on espn+ but having Bearcats baseball on the TV in the middle of the day is wonderful.

Another walk off

This UC baseball team is fun to watch...

It’s huge, especially since it does not get broadcasted on local TV or radio.

Exciting time to be a Cincinnati fan! UC might average more fans for baseball than the bottom half American teams average for basketball
