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.

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

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.

That will be a cold 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.
