McM's Stephen Yurchick gets a solo HR to jump start his teammates.  McM scores five runs, to go ahead 10-8.  Headed to the bottom of the 6th.

A shout out to the injured Westin Franco who gets a clutch pinch hit RBI single to tie the game at 8 in that rally.

[TexasBB]

CTX beat Ozarks 7-3 so they will be heading into a game 3 in Austin.

[Ralph Turner]

In the bottom of the 3rd inning, McMurry has batted around, hit for the cycle, advanced a runner by sacrifice bunt and seen a balk by the opposing pitcher.  McMurry goes up 5-0.  5 runs on 4 hits with 3 BB's;  2 LOB; 1 guy batted twice in the inning.

Derek David hits a 2-run HR in the bottom of 4th, McM 7-0.

David's 24th HR is the third best seasonal total in D-III history.  His 67th and 68th RBI give him the season record, eclipsing UT-Tyler's Brett Amyx' 66 in 2007.

McMurry leads 8-0 going to the 8th.  Dakota Smith has faced the minimum in a 2 hitter.

[TexasBB]

Mississippi College has turned into the big surprise sweeping UMHB and winning 10-1. They have been getting progressively better the last half of the season and really have played well the last 3 weeks. I think they are a force that will have to be reconned with next weekend.  CTX and Ozarks are in a slugfest in the second game 10-7 in the 5th and CTX has the bases loaded. The Ozarks pitching has not showed up today. They had a simular meltdown in the series against MC. They do not have the bats to slug it out.
