Just for information, MSU beat tosu 17-12 today. It seems that both teams have offense and neither has pitching. I wonder how this will pan out on Tuesday.Comment

From Heartland College Sports: HOW HIGH CAN CINCY CLIMB?
"Sorry, BYU fans, with a 6-18 record in conference play, your hopes of reaching the postseason are over. This series is all about Cincinnati, who has been the biggest surprise team in the Big 12 this year. After a big win over West Virginia last weekend, the Bearcats moved up to 13-11 in conference play. The problem with them is their RPI is in the 60’s so they will need to continue to win games to remain in the postseason hunt. The good news for them is that BYU has the worst ERA in the Big 12 (7.19). Cincinnati has the offense to take advantage of that with guys like Josh Kross and Tommy O’Connor, who have combined for 26 homers this season."

Great comeback by the Cats tonight at BYU. Trailing 5-2 in the 7th, UC scored once to make it 5-3, then twice more in the 8th to tie. The Bearcats broke it open in the 9th with a 4-spot.
Freshman closer Carson Marsh (Moeller grad) kept the Cougars off the board over the final two innings to notch the win. His line: 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 K.
With the win, UC are now 28-21 (14-11) and temporarily in 4th place in the B12. BYU were eliminated from any postseason chances.
As a side note, you never know what kind of announcing crew you're going to get, but I was impressed with the BYU team. They were very fair and gave credit to the UC players' performances throughout the game.Comment
