The schedule has been changed. A double header on Saturday and no game on Sunday.

UC trailed Austin Peay, 4-1, in the 7th, but rallied to send the game to extra innings. In the bottom of the 10th, Quenton Coats hammered the 1st pitch of the inning out to dead CF. Final: 5-4.

The Bearcats are 7-3. DH with APSU tomorrow.

It actually wasn't that bad. A lot of action under bright sunshine. Most of the crowd was along the 1st base line stands which were the beneficiary of said sunshine (and a lot of students there cheering and not just racking up Ruckus points). If it dropped into the 40s it was as the game ended during the 7th inning when the 10 rule came into effect.

I was surprised by how young this team is; mostly Frosh and Sophomores (true and red shirts) among the non-pitchers.

Almost the same score differential as the FCC game

That will be a cold game.

Per accuweather.com, the temps at first pitch should be about 55F, dropping to the upper 40's through the game. It could be worse, such as what FCC's opponents will face that evening. O&M FC are from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. They don't get temps in the 40's down there.

Bischel Ball rebounded on Saturday afternoon, taking down UAB, 8-4. Quinton Coates did the big damage with a grand slam. The Bearcats are 4-3, with the finale versus the Blazers on Sunday afternoon.

Another bad day for the pitching staff in Birmingham. The Blazers jacked 4 homers on their way to an 8-3 win over the Bearcats. Two more games there this weekend.

After Quinton Coates jacked a 3-run HR to go up on the Blazers in the 8th, 9-6, UAB tallied a 2-run blast in the bottom half. UC then added two runs in the 9th for an 11-8 lead. However, the Blazers walked it off with an opposite-field HR. Final: UAB 12-11.

rough day for the pitching staff - i didn't hear the announcers mention it, but it seemed like the wind was pushing anything hit to right field a bit. fwiw, coates' had a no doubter to left - definitely not wind aided

The Bearcats are 1-0 to start the season with a 11-5 win over Jax State.

The Cats won again on Saturday, 6-5, but fell, 1-0, today to wrap up the series at Jacksonville State. I watched quite a bit of the game. The ESPN+ play-by-play man had a distinctive voice that I didn't expect. It was Eli Gold, the longtime Bama radio play-by-play voice.

UC will move over to Auburn for a game Tuesday, then head to Birmingham for a 4-game series at UAB, starting Thursday.
