HPU 8-0 over HSU after 2 innings.

[dballa]

Andrew Atwell just hit a 3 run homerun for HPU

now HPU 11-1 over HSU in the 3rd, HPU still batting.

[Ralph Turner]

dballa, was the first game of the DH the 7-inning game?

[dballa]

yes it was, this is the 9 inning game.

[dballa]

HPU11 HSU 3 going to the bottom of the 4th.

Jackets got out of a nice jam in the top of the 5th.  Rowley can earn the win now.  I hope that the staff can hold this one.

The announcers don't seem to count on Rowley's going the distance.

HPU 11-3, going to the bottom of the 5th.

[dballa]

With how hot it is out there and how many pitches he's thrown I wouldn't think he would make it 9.

The only way I could see it is if HPU scores one more and gets out of the 7th with a shortened game

it's 12-3 now in the bottom of the 5th

as I said that Atwell got another base hit and drove in a run to make it 13-3

[dballa]

Now it's 14-3 after a Schaffer triple and still nobody out in the bottom of the 5th.

[dballa]

After the 5th it's now 15-3 HPU on top.

[dballa]

Doug Wren and Andrew Atwell have both gone 5-5 so far in the game.
All starters have at least one hit in the game for HPU.

end of the 6th HPU 17 HSU 4

[dballa]

Is there not a 10 run rule anymore in college baseball?

Going to the bottom of the 7th it's still HPU 17 HSU 4

A lot of subs are coming into the game now for HSU and most likely for HPU.

[Ralph Turner]

I lost my signal.  Keep the scores coming!

[dballa]

HPU 18 HSU 4 end of the 7th.

Adam Garcia did come in to pitch the top half of the 7th for HPU.

[dballa]

end of the 8th it's still HPU 18 HSU 4

[Ralph Turner]

dballa, I am going to count HPU holding onto a 14-run lead with 3 outs remaining.

Here are the standings going into the next weekend.  All teams play 3 games series.

T1)  TLU  11-5  (.688); at Schreiner.  (Has the series advantage over CUA, 1-0)
T1)  CUA  11-5  (.688); at UMHB.
T3)  HSU  12-6  (.667); hosts SRSU. (HSU has the series advantage over McM, 2-1.)
T3)  McM  12-6  (.667); hosts HPU.

TLU--can host the Tourney if they sweep Schreiner.
CUA--can host the Tourney if they sweep UMHB, and TLU loses at least one game.
HSU--can host the Tourney if they sweep SRSU and both TLU and CUA lose one  game.
McM--can host the Tourney if they sweep HPU and TLU, CUA and HSU lose one game.

HPU--can gain the final playoff spot by sweeping McMurry.

The above scenarios are the clean and simple ones.  The criteria and the tie breakers are simple.  The first criterion here is winning percentage.
