Hoos overcome an ugly start and win 13 to 8.

They eliminate Jacksonville and advance to play at noon tomorrow. They’ll get the loser of tonight’s game between ODU and South Carolina.

They’ll play at 7:00 tonight on SEC Network.

Chris Newell hit one of the most impressive HR I’ve seen this season to begin Bottom 8.

Anybody have any reason to hope we face one team or the other? Should I be rooting for ODU or SC?

Always ODU

I think we want to play whichever team is a tougher matchup for us. That sounds stupid but we’ll have to beat tonight’s winner twice so beating the tougher team just once seems better.

My preference is for us to play South Carolina again next. Either way it will be tough, but if we can squeeze out a win, our pitching staff is going to be completely decimated, and ODU’s pitching is also suspect, so I think our chances are better for winning two high-scoring games against ODU than against the Cocks playing at home.

Agree with your and @wahoos analysis on why we wanted SC to lose.

And that’s what happened.

Hoos vs South Carolina at noon today, weather permitting.

Last night, the forecast in Columbia didn’t look that conducive to afternoon baseball.

And we pull out the 3-2 win over South Carolina! Great performance. Will have to see if we can keep the energy up vs. ODU tonight.

UVA vs ODU at 6:00 tonight.

Hoos have to beat them two in a row.

Griff McGarry gets the start for UVA.

Streaming only right now but with 400 channels, ESPN may find a place to broadcast it.

Thinking at best a very late start tonight. Maybe moved to tomorrow. Either seems to help the Hoos

Tomorrow’s winner moves on. We play at 7. Winner would then play the winner of the Dallas Baptist Oregon state game which is at 4 tomorrow. I might be wrong but it looks like if we win and Oregon state wins we’d go to Corvallis next weekend, if we win and DBU wins we would host.
