No talk about El Cid yet?
Hopefully we can come out of this weekend still first in the standings.

I really don't like thinking about this series. No matter how good each team is in a particular year this series always seems to give us trouble. weather its a cit team playing behind a late season surge or the home run fence being stretched down the FOUL Tertiary fence, we always seem to get screwed. Hopefully this year there coach taught them how to slide.

They dont have a good record this year, but their pitching is still pretty good from what i know. It is agreed that we always have interesting games with them. I think getting out of there with 2 of 3 would be great and then CofC or UNCG would have to sweep to gain on us.

Got a nice opening series win on the road. Got an early lead and always had a comfortable lead throughout. Also, GSU lost to Wofford and UNCG beat CofC. Leaves us 2.5 games up on UNCG, 3.5 on CofC and 4.5 on GSU.

Picked up an 8-2 win in the second game as well. Already have the series win, which is all I was hoping for going down there. A chance to pick up the sweep tomorrow - that would be huge!

Sweep would be huge. Still sitting at 3 games up at the moment. Last 4 conference games will all be big games to win.

If CofC can win it would be 3.5 up on both them and UNCG - with a chance to hold on to that lead with a win tomorrow. It is nice to be in control of your own destiny - keep winning and we wont be caught!

Sweep in Charleston 8-6 in 12 has to be some redemption from last year well done and Softball 3 over UNCG nice weekend.

Our magic number is 2, correct? Yes - I believe winning against Furman would do it as of right now. That could change though depending on how the teams behind us do next weekend when we are off. If they have a couple of losses we could be needing just one.

The team could finish first or third. Samford and GSU are fighting for 4th.
Let's hope for the sweep next weekend! I don't think two of three will do it. If UNCG sweeps their last two series, they own the tie breaker and would finish first.

Since tomorrows game is sort of in my backyard I will be in the stands cheering on the goods guys. Is there anyway to know who will be on the mound for Elon tomorrow? Looking for good weather and another victory for the Phoenix.

Magic # to clinch a share of the title is 1, to win it outright is 2.

Win one we clinch a share of the Regular season title, but could end up second in the tourney due to our 2 losses in g-town. With our RPI as high as it is i think we are a lock for an at large if we can get a share of the title. Would much rather us win out and win the tourney and get a better seed placement in the NCAA's
