Not looking good for Troy down 5-0 in the 6th.

Going out with a whimper, but it's been a great run for them and for the Conference.

[biggie]

Yeah just ugly on that last game at 12-0

[311neers]

Rough finish.
But how many teams can say they won a game in Omaha?
Very impressive and puts more eyes on the conference.

Wait til next year …

Evidently, this guy throws within the 17 inches of the width of home plate on a consistent basis..

BREAKING: North Florida RHP Trevor Nikolis has committed to App State, per his X/Twitter!

Nikolis posted a 3.36 ERA in 56.1 innings pitched with 41 strikeouts last season with the Ospreys!

Nikolas also led the ASUN with a .197 BAA!

Buy College baseball stock now.
Time to really start funding the program.

(FWIW, I don’t like this for kids good enough to go from HS to Pro’s)

Cost cutting measure by MLB. Gotta find a way to reduce the bust rate. Making everyone go through 2 years of college ball will weed a few of them out. Plus, shifts the burden of paying 18-19 year old talent off their books and onto the schools.

Wonder what this means for the International Draft, if anything… Seems just putting Americans at a disadvantage. 2-3 potential less years if development in a professional organization if good enough to be drafted out of HS.

There used to be a large difference in the development in the minors and college, the minors were far superior. That is not the case anymore, many in MLB feel D1 college development is at least on par with low minors, with the better leagues (SEC, ACC, Big 12) being closer to high AA and AAA. So a high school stud that could have been drafted will still get good development because he will end up at a top school. I see this as a win win for both college baseball and MLB.

One for the money in Omaha tomorrow.

That freshman pitcher fir the Heels has been lights out all season. Announcers said he enrolled at UNC a year early.

[AppinVA]

I’m sure enjoying this game.

[appstate24]

Boomer Sooner! Or whatever, just as long as it wasn’t unc-cheat!

[BambooRdApp]

Oklahoma started 3 freshman pitchers in the final series.

That dude last night was ice cold. Loved his swagger and confidence on the mound.

[311neers]

Insert crying Jordan/Church face.

[Stonewall]

Remember Oklahoma beating us in two regional elimination games . Well , I guess this is some kind of redemption.

[BambooRdApp]

Be nice to see App participate in something like this near beginning of the season

Don't remind me. There are quiet bus rides...and then there are quiet bus rides.
That felt like a 12 hour ride back to Boone.
Great to reflect on, and it's what makes you keep coming back for more. 1 game from a Super Regional vs a team we competed with in the regular season.

[Stonewall]

Sorry about that Chief!
