2024 Baseball Season
- Thread starter MDspider8
- Start date
I agree re: momentum. But let’s take advantage of ncaa chances now. Being a regular in ncaa baseball is extremely hard from A10. We could have future better reg seasons but r odds may still not be as high for ncaa if we win tomorrow. Will still almost always come down to a10 tourney. Winner of ur-vcu game in clear drivers seat. I agree it’s an all out all hands on deck game tomorrow imo.
Maybe we can emulate Kent State a bit. They r northern school but do quite well as mid major. Not sure if MAC league rankings. But Kent has good history even been to CWS ~10 years ago. I’ve been to their field it’s nice. Not big grandstands but they have some chair backs we need to do that. Also their outfield walls r impressive. They promote the heck out of ncaa & cws on them. Not sure we have signage like on ours idk. Sean Casey son plays at Kent btw.
Foltz goes complete game: 9 IP, 1 ER, 7 Hits, 6 Ks, 1 BB. Holds Pedanou and Mendez to an 0-8 day.
5 teams remain!
1. SLU
2. VCU
4. Richmond
5. GW
7. SJU
SJU puts up a 4 spot in the bottom of the third inning, and lead SLU 5-0.
DeSanto so far: 3 IP, 2 H, 2 K

Yes, loser is out.
And then GW and winner play at 7 tonight and loser of that one is out as well. Survivor of that one gets the loser of tomorrow morning's UR/VCU game.

Wow. Most of the damage has come off of Ethan Bell, a Senior who has been one of SLU's most reliable arms all year. Coming into this game, he had a 4-1 record, 6 saves, and a sub 3 ERA.
Anything can happen in these tournaments...

Three more for the Hawks and it's 13–0, only heading to the 6th.
Bell faced 17 batters, giving up 9 hits (3 homers) and 2 HBP. Was responsible for 9 runs (all earned) with an ERA of 40.50 for the game.

DeSanto is through 6, and has held the Billikens to 2-20 hitting today. Not sure what his pitch count is but could be another complete game brewing.
The Hawk survives, 14-0 over SLU. DeSanto pitches a complete game shutout: 9 IP, 4 Hits, 12 Ks, 0 BB.

I agree. Still think we need to find a way to attract more local talent. I know it's difficult with limited scholarships and high tuition, but there is some awesome high school baseball played in Richmond. Lots of D1 talent. Mills Godwin alone has a couple kids going to W/M, one to VCU, and one to Alabama. Real opportunity for UR to grow the program locally and keep some kids at home. Find a way to make the money work. Take advantage of being a southern school in the A10.
Problem is that none of the baseball talent in Tuckahoe, Glen Allen, Midlo, etc. will qualify for that. Baseball is becoming a rich kid's sport, unfortunately.
Not sure we're going to be starting our game at 3. It's 10–9 GW and still only in the 5th, and there needs to be 45 minutes between games.
The good news is that both of these teams are probably going to use 5-7 pitchers apiece to get through this game. If we do end up losing and having to play again tonight, the other team is going to be pretty depleted on the mound.
The downside is that when we wax VCU, they will benefit from playing that depleted staff...
Per the live stats link, it will be Ymker to start today as I suspected.
VCU is going with Christian Gordon - last pitched against us on May 17th against us.

Ymker is already done, Reinke coming in. Let's see what Aoki's strategy is with pitchers today. Gotta think he's doing this to try to keep the game close.
Wonder who we'll have available for tonights game vs. St. Joe's. Expecting Hinchliffe to open, with Topolski/Ymker/Hentschel ready to follow. Would be surprised if we don't have to go to Armson or Clifton as well. Maybe Roche will be called on for an inning or two as well, but would love to try to save him and E-Rod for tomorrow if we can.
Bases loaded fielder's choice in the first and we are up 1-0. A flyout follows and that's the half inning.
