K swinging mercifully ends things.

HOOS win 8-6 to take game one of the weekend and improve to 17-11 (7-6) on the season. NCST falls to 19-11 (5-5).

We’ll see you tomorrow 3 PM EST as the Hoos try to take the series.

I like this whole “winning a bunch of games in a row” thing a lot better than the earlier “lose way more games than anyone expected” thing. Fingers-crossed they can stay on track!

And I really appreciate the play-by-play! I always check in regularly during the games and its fun to watch them unfold.

What’s crazy is that we’re on this winning streak but really only our offense has started to turn around. Our fielding is still piss poor and our bullpen is still suspect as hell.

If we can find any sort of consistency defensively and at least find a formula of consistent reliever arms to get us through the weekend then we’ll really be cooking with fire.

Yeah, it’s now starting to remind me of last season when we just outscored the competition. Thanks for your coverage!

The softball team beat FSU today, too. I think they’re in the top 10

HOOS lead 1-0 after the first frame. Got runners on the corners to start, Ford grounded into a double play to score the runner from 3rd.

1-1 tie game after an NCST solo HR to lead off the bottom of the 2nd.

4-1 NCST after two complete. A couple of Hanson misplays in the field really doomed us that inning.
