Hope our leadoff triple and out at home in the first isn’t the difference maker…

Booted ball at 2nd- run scores.
Dropped strike 3- guy gets to 3rd.

Incoming safety squeeze


Unreal.

Load the bases so safety squeeze is a force out

Why why why?
We should have loaded the bases.

Safety squeeze gets us.

I’m guessing Denton is our catcher of the future but he has to get better defensively.

We really miss Smith.

What happened to Zamora?

I’m unsure why but we have quit hitting since the third game with Troy.

Embarrassing.

This is what happens when you look ahead.

Bad loss to a bad team. Self inflicted. Very poor performance , two series in a row.

Feels like last year. Peaked too early. I hope I'm wrong.

Losing two to the conference cellar dweller heading into tournament time doesn’t provide much confidence.

Add in that we kicked a guy off.
Told another not to travel.
Smith gets hurt so the 3rd guy that had been benched boots balls in the infield.

Not the way we wanted the last 10 days to go.

Crazy to think but these next two might be must wins even with a 3rd place finish (1 game out of 6th-8th)

We play on Wednesday. Enough time for the arms to recover. And hopefully Snith.

Good regular season now let’s go finish these cats!

On a positive note, Southern Miss run-rule walked off Georgia Southern with a homer to beat then 11-0 and send the Eagles to a 16-40 finish, worse than any App State season in 21 years.

Now that is something to celebrate.
40 losses for Stink!
That’s extremely difficult to do.

That has to place them below 300th place in the country.

According to the tiebreaker gurus, App State will play Texas State in the first round of the Sun Belt Tournament at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

The Bobcats just swept Marshall in San Marcos.

Tuesday sudden death games:

#10 Marshall vs #7 Louisiana
#9 Georgia State vs #8 Old Dominion

Winners go to the double elimination bracket. Highest-seeded Tuesday winner will play #2 in the other game in our bracket, the lowest-seeded Tuesday winner will play #1 in the other bracket.

The other known Wednesday game is #4 South Alabama vs #5 Troy.

Coastal and Louisiana are still playing. That game will determine who between Coastal and Southern Miss is #1 and #2.
