Hoos are allegedly down 7-1 to ODU currently in the bottom of the 6th inning. I have no way of verifying this as there’s no broadcast.

Hoos go down 7-4 to ODU in Norfolk. Had a two out rally in the 9th and got the tying run to the plate, but Anderson struck out to end it.
We now sit at 28-9 (11-7) on the season after losing our first midweek game since April 19th, 2022.

Appears that our 757 Hoos struggled mightily in front of the hometown fans judging by the alleged box score.

Allegedly. There’s a chance this game never even happened. I mean I haven’t seen any of it, and if we get enough people to say it didn’t take place then maybe it’ll gain some traction.

I was there. It totally sucked.
Key play: GOF had an UGLY error with a bad throw to first early in the game. That costed us big time. Ethan also had to deep shots but the wind was blowing in and kept them in the park. Without the wind and that error, we likely pull it out even while not hitting well.

Gonna copy/paste a post I made on the 247 board just to keep people here in the loop.
Future Stars updated their top 400 prospects list yesterday with some notable movement for UVA players/recruits. Here’s a link to the list: 2024 MLB Draft: Top 400 Prospects - Future Stars Series
And here’s a link to our 2024 PG commits page: Virginia - Perfect Game Baseball Player College Commitments
Of importance to us…

88: Ethan Anderson C/1B
91: Casey Saucke 3B
129: Harrison Didawick OF (up 50 spots)
145: James Nunnallee OF (HS, up 140 spots)

I have no idea how reputable this site is when it comes to projecting prospects, but there’s a chance our recruiting class gets gutted this year lol. We’re already expected to lose Bonemer/Harris/TGA, but losing guys like Meccage, Nunnallee, and Dickerson on top of that would be brutal. Also seems like Didawick is playing himself into top 5 round consideration, he would have one more year of leverage if he decides to come back but we’ll see if that happens.

Hoos are up 10-4 over George Mason in the bottom of the 7th.
I honestly forgot there was a game tonight, but wouldn’t have been able to do PBP anyway. Had to go out of town after work.

We got baseball here in about 10 minutes. No Saucke today, not 100% sure why but he did come up limping a little bit after trying to rob a HR in the GMU game so wonder if it’s connected to that. 247 board saying he was warming up so might just be a precaution. Also still no Godbout but have read that he’s close to returning.
We’re about to get underway.
Top of the 1st, LHP Evan Blanco starts on the mound for the HOOS. LF Trey Yunger to lead off for GT.

- Burress K’s (1) looking. Two down for DH Matthew Ellis.
- Ellis on a full count draws a walk. One on and two down for RF Cam Jones.
- Jones flies out to Didawick in LCF to end the frame.
Middle of the 1st, game is scoreless.
What exactly happened to godbout? Was it that HBP?
Not 100% sure, would assume it was a lingering injury from that HBP though.
Bottom of the 1st, RHP Aeden Finateri starts on the mound for GT. SS Griff O’Ferrall to lead off for the HOOS.
- GOF K’s swinging. One down for RF Bobby Whalen.
- Looks like it’s gonna be a big strike zone today.

- Anderson on the next pitch rips a double the other way off the LF wall. Runner on 2nd and two down for 1B Henry Ford.
- Ford on the next pitch lines one off the glove of the 1B Giesler. It ends up on the infield, everyone is safe. Runners on the corners and two down for CF Harrison Didawick.

- Giesler rips a double into the LCF gap. That clears the bases, 5-0 GT. Runner on 2nd and one down for Green.

- Yunger steals 2nd. Runner on 2nd and two down now for Burress, 1-2 count.
- Ugh. Burress hits a hard grounder to GOF that eats him up. He’s able to gather it and throw to 1st, but it’s low and Ford can’t pick it. It gets past him, Yunger comes around to score from 2nd, 7-0 GT. One on and two down for Ellis.

Man, this is not a good GT team. But we left guys on early on, and they took advantage when they had men in scoring position.
Seems like our hitters don’t have much patience. Saucke is a huge part of that lineup though.
