1-0 lead through 3 innings... this is a huge improvement. The horns do indeed have some fine pro prospects.

That was embarrassing to watch the umpire call the walk that forced in the tie run. That ump was way off being fair.

The ump made several bad calls that inning and we waited too long to change pitchers. We were lucky to walk away with only one run given up with bases loaded. Now 1-1 at the top of the 7th...

Meanwhile, let’s win the Southland and, if we’re lucky, we get to play them again the the NCAA tournament! #ATO

Catfanatic, you bring up a good point about winning the SLC title and we go to the playoffs regardless. I looked at the remaining games for ACU and tried to come up with what a good season from this point on might look like.
-The Wildcats are 19-16 overall and 10-10 in the SLC -- in 7th place as a team and the top 8 teams go to the tourney in Hammond.
-ACU has 5 4-game series to finish up the season. We only have one series against a team that is vying for the conference title (SHSU) and it is on the road. We have 4 of the 5 series against teams that are ranked below us and 3 of those are at home.
-Remaining series at home are: UIW (11th place - 13-19/9-15); Lamar (9th place - 17-13/9-11); and SFA (10th place - 12-20/9-11). We need to see ACU go something like 8-4 or 9-3 in these final home series.
-The games on the road are HBU (tied for 12th - 9-25/6-6/14) and SHSU (3rd place - 19-16/15-9). It would be great to see ACU go 4-4 or 5-3 in these games.
-With 20 games to go, an the 'Cats go 12-8 or even 14-6 down the stretch. Either of those marks would constitute a good season in my mind -- a cumulative season over 30 wins and that should put ACU safely in the top 8 and possibly up to the 4th-5th place range.
What do my fellow Catchatters say? If 30-32 wins on the season a suitable improvement over previous seasons?

I think the team has done well this year. Nice to see young guys contributing with 95% of the team being new faces. The problem we have had over the past few years is continuity. We need good young players to stick around for 4 years. We lost some of that before this regime took over and with covid, it has continued. Hopefully McCarty has something to build on. The southland isn’t a bad baseball conference, not sure about the wac, so finishing in the top half of conference is a success is my mind.

I wish we would have done better in a coupl of games, but I have seen growth. Hopefully the consistency continues, but time will tell on that. I would think we should be able to get another 10-12 wins. I would like to see us get at least 12 - 13 more. I would also like to see us clean up a couple of issues that both RC and I have noticed with some of our infielding.

Glad to see the team bounce back from that series first game loss. UIW is a team we need to beat 3-1 in the series and a good game today accomplishes that.

What went on with the Houston Baptist series... A game was suspended on Friday and I find no word about Today's (Saturday) score. Rainout???
Edit: Any report at all? I can find no information. Is the series cancelled?
