Spiders take Game 2 21-2!! We only had to use two pitchers: Roche and Ymker. We clinch no worse than a .500 record in conference play with our 12th A10 win of the season.
2024 Baseball Season
- Thread starter MDspider8
- Start date
We drop the finale 5-2. Home with ODU on Tuesday and VCU next weekend to end the regular season.
I think if we take 2 from VCU next series - we end up tied with them. MIght be enough to get UR to 2nd seed and a good bye in first round, but depends on tiebreakers and what Dayton does.
In these tourney's - pitching is the premium. Got to win early and try to save some arms, then when you hit deeper into teams rotations, let your offense take over and slug out a win or two.
But I agree with the new coach - Aoki - has done a good job this year in first year. Will be interesting to see what he can attract in the portal and recruiting with a full year under his belt now.

Standings Update with one A10 series left to play. Bold teams are the Conference Tournament cutoff. Teams with asterisks have clinched a spot. Teams with an "e" are eliminated.
I think Dayton and VCU have clinched based on the fact they can get no more than 10 losses. Our magic number is 2; hitting the 13 win mark should clinch an A10 conference tourney appearance. However, a seed as high as 2 is still in play, though Dayton does take on URI in the final A10 series.
As a reminder, only the 1 seed gets a "bye", and the highest seed amongst the Day 1 losers gets to skip an elimination bracket game. With our thin staff, the higher the seed the better.

Aaron Whitley has finally played in enough games to qualify for the A10 stat leaderboards. Here are his ranks:
.394 batting average - 2nd
.500 on-base percentage - 3rd
.685 slugging percentage - 3rd
1.185 OPS - 2nd
Counting stats aren't there since he's played about 15 fewer games than the average A10 regular, but 50 Hits, 10 doubles, 9 homers, and 15 steals in 34 games are really solid numbers. Should be in conention for an all-A10 spot.
Kyle Roche ranks 4th in the league with a 3.37 ERA, 2nd with a 1.19 WHIP, and 10th with 62 K's. He also leads all of D1 baseball with an absurd 0.24 BB/9 and a 31.00 K/BB ratio. He has a tough 3-7 W/L record, but that should be overlooked to get him an all conference nod as well.

Great years for both of them. I assume they will go portaling after the season ends, which sucks for us. Hope we can win the series against the lambs and maybe get over .500 by winning the A10.
From my casual observation seat, it appears we're about what we were the last couple years, except maybe the league is worse this year or we are somehow just playing a little better in A10 games than in OOC games. Seems like the tournament should be wide open, though.
