WMU may have the best pitcher in this regional and they saved him for the second game. Raiders have a much better record but this game is no gimme.

Pretty chicken-shit move on Western Mich's part by saving their ace for the second game. They're just happy to be here; just want to win one game. They knew they couldn't beat Louisville.
Who doesn't pitch their ace in the first game of the NCAA Tournament? Chicken-shit teams. I hope we put it on them. These scrubs shouldn't even be in the tournament with their pathetic record. And I'm not buying the nonsense from the ESPN3 announcers that the WMU coach wanted to give his ace an extra day of rest because he was used so heavily in the MAC tournament. Yeah right. One extra day of rest.

We jumped on 'em for 2 runs in the first. Lovelady actually had Mitch Roman, a .340 hitter, lay a sac bunt down with two strikes ... but it worked out in the end. Not sure why you would ever bunt with two strikes, let alone with a .340 hitter at the plate.
Oh well, let's win this game then beat Ohio State later tomorrow.

Boom! Raiders dominating 10-2 in the 7th.
So much for their "ace" pitcher. We chased him after just 4 innings.

WSU thumps WMU 10-3. Live to see another day. Will get the loser of OSU v. Louisville.

Yessir. I thought we'd play the winner of UL/OSU tonight, but you're right 09, the game will be played Sunday at noon.
My prediction is we knock off OSU (and eliminate them) but lose to L'Ville in the next game. Pretty much exactly what happened last year (except Louisville is Illinois this year, Ohio State is Notre Dame, and Western Michigan is Ohio U).

Is there anywhere to listen a radio broadcast it online? I know ESPN 3 has it, but I'll be working and won't be able to watch.

I was driving home trying to keep up on the game, but the ESPN feed went out. So excited to see WSU come out of the gates busting and put the screws to the Suckeyes.
I'm not optimistic about our chances here, UL has only lost one home game all season, but I'm proud of our guys for getting to the championship game, and setting the school record for wins in a season.
It's been a long time since a WSU team was the best team in the state. Got home and settled in just in time to watch the game!

If the Cards take it all we should feel pretty darn good.

Now it's time for Bob Grant to come up with some additional funds to try to keep Coach Lovelady. He is going to be a coach in high demand. We need to make an effort to hang onto him.
