Bat night at Prasco. Wright State scored 7 unanswered runs after UC had tied the Raiders, 3-3, for a 10-3 victory. UC will play Miami U tomorrow at 2:00 in the consolation game of the Joe Nuxhall Classic.

UC are now 19-13.

The Cats are on a roll. They took down the Red Raiders in the 1st game today, 8-1. Kellen O'Connor went the distance, yielding just 6 hits.

The nightcap is scheduled for 4:00 ET.

The 2nd game started out poorly, as TTU scored four times in the 1st and eventually took a 7-2 lead. However, the Cats rallied back and took an 8-7 lead in the 7th. Unfortunately, the bullpen collapsed in the 8th, and the Red Raiders came away with a 12-8 home win. UC are now 19-12 (6-6).

UC will have two games at Prasco Park in the Joe Nuxhall Classic, starting Tuesday at 6:00 against Wright State. They'll play again Wednesday versus the winner between Miami and XU. Following that, ASU will come into town for a 3-game series.

The second game of the series @ TTU was postponed until noon tomorrow, with a DH now on the docket.

The Bearcats, trailing TX Tech, 7-5, in the 9th, rallied to tie and send the game in Lubbock to extra innings. The Red Raiders threatened in the 11th, but Brandon Scheurer wriggled out of it. That set the stage for Jack Natili, who singled in a run, which Scheurer was able to hang onto. Final: UC 8-7.

That's five straight victories, raising the Cats' record to 18-11 (5-5). They play again at noon Saturday.

TT has been struggling some. it looks like a good opportunity for the 'cats to pick up some road wins

[swilsonsp4]

The Bearcats traveled up to Oxford yesterday to take on the SkinHawks. The Cats' bats were silent for most of the game, and they went to the 7th down 2-0. UC loaded the bases. Then Kerrington Cross unloaded them with a grand slam. The Bearcats added two more runs in the inning to take a 6-2 lead.

Miami battled back and cut the lead to 6-4, which held until they batted again in the bottom of the 9th. Brandon Scheurer, who had shut off further damage in the 8th, stayed on the mound to try to close it out. He walked the leadoff hitter on four pitches. After getting two outs, Scheurer again lost control, throwing eight straight pitches out of the zone to load the bases. Jordan Bischel pulled Christian Mitchelle from 3B to try to get the final out. Mitchelle induced a 4-6 FC to secure the victory.

UC now stand at 17-11 (4-5) and head to Lubbock for a three-game series starting Friday evening.

My wife and I went to the game today. What a beautiful day it was. The Cats left way too many men on bases in scoring position but ended up taking it in the 10th inning.

Sunday is Lego day and kids run the bases. Bring your kids or grandkids.

[swilsonsp4]

The Bearcats, leading 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th, picked up two more runs, then had to try to withstand a bases-loaded, two-out situation. A UCF player grounded hard between 1st & 2nd, with Loudon Brooks making a diving stop on the outfield turf and throwing a strike to 1st, just nipping the batter-runner to end the game. Final: 6-4.

The two teams play again tomorrow at home (3:00).
