Wilder gets it back! Too bad Holderbach tried to hit it out in LF last inning or we'd be in the lead.

That, and every time they hit it to right field it goes over the wall

They're definitely built to take advantage of the short RF wall. Not sure if that's a great strategy or not.

I just hope Steensma is okay. It didn't look good when he had to leave in the 5th. The entire game changed when that happened.

It's game one of the weekend. You're not going to destroy your bullpen for a game you have little odds of winning. No reason to turn one bad day into two or three.

It's disappointing to see Elderkin and the program lacking resources to consistently compete and win. Especially now, given how WBB is catching fire across the country. I'd love to see our fanbase get energized around the Lady Mountaineers like we have around the fellas. BTW, this is another good e...

Just imagine if shortly after the Wake loss, Kerns made a statement about the historic season, thanked the players and the fans. And said something about taking more stairs next year... Go back and listen to the postgame show from our radio broadcast . He basically said all of this. Spot on, JTApps...

We should be in good shape on the mound tomorrow with Steensma and Chirico ready to go. Even today we had eight solid innings of pitching. The one bad one was just really bad.

So we have Tate and Wilson returning, for now. We have plenty of PT to offer guys at least.

Welcome to the world of capatilism. Athletics style. Need to implement contracts for players with consequences if others want to “buy them out”, non-competes, etc. if they want to be treated like employees not students so be it. Sad day. Understand the sentiment but here is the rub with contracts. ...

So as a followup question for discussion (that may create a firestorm)... In the new environment, how much emphasis should be placed on high school recruiting??? I've been saying this for years . . . at what point do consumers just want to watch the highest level of paid sports. How popular is AAA ...

JMU's Edwards is in the portal. He was the best player in our league. He is definitely able to not only play but he can start at a low of power programs. At least two other JMU players have followed. It's pretty indemic across the conference. Georgia State has five in including the top two scorers ...

All of this was so predictable. No one should be surprised. It's a shame, and I'm grateful for this season. But if a program isn't supported, this will happen. And the thing is, none of these guys will go to the NBA. They just have a shot a more appreciated program. The fans stepped up support for ...

I feel as though I'm losing a part of my life that brings me joy. Appalachian athletics has provided an outlet from the outside noise for over two decades personally. Isn't getting difficult to stay invested at the current rate. Same here, Saint. Although disappointed with the changes and turnover ...

Abson played the last few games like his heart was elsewhere.

Yeah, his game did seem off down the stretch.

Fortunately we have a short trip to UNCA and are at home for the Marshall series. Tujetsch is out for Tuesday but should be able to pitch an inning or two for Marshall.

I'll take 3-3 versus Texas State and Coastal.

Yes, and nearly 5-1. I'm happy we're at the point of being disappointed to not sweep the #13 team in the country.

Now we see why they want the auto-bids eliminated.

Wake has a few of really good players, but they aren't some far superior team. We settled for too many 3's early in the game instead of attaching them, but a lot of the looks were wide open though. If we hit them it's a different game. Of course the FT situation was huge.
