Still going. 18th inning. In the 8 extra innings Elon has struck out 14 times. (I think. Was a quick count.) Heading to the bottom of the 18th now. Finish this please.

Western Scores. Somewhat confusing sequence. Man on second no out. Bunt. Ball gets to third a few steps before the runner. And he doesn't tag him? Radio guy didn't seem to have any idea what was going on. So 1st and 3rd no out happened. Scored eventually.
Haha. And Elon ties it up. NEVER GOING TO END.

Very disappointing ending in the 20th... at least WCU earned it - Heffley (who is a stud) jacked one with a man on and we couldnt muster anything. We play at 1 tomorrow against the loser of the game that was starting just after midnight haha.

God what a rough sequence for us. Tough game to lose. Like you said bhill, WCU did earn it. So we have that going for us. And we have now played the two longest games in SoCon baseball history.
Good news is GSU and CofC had to play AFTER our game. 12:30 a.m. was the first pitch I hear and the game didn't end until 3 a.m.
Here's hoping we got something left in the tank after that game to make a run.

I hope they get the bats going today. 20 Ks last night, and the 3-7 hitters went a combined 2-37. Hopefully we have some arms left for today's game too. Hopefully CofC is more tired than we are today.

Appy eliminated UNCG. Looks like the SoCon will be a one bid league this season.

And Elon gets swept too. Ugh. Now we are on the bubble for making the tournament (so I hear). I'd hate to see the season end like that.

Its all up the Committee at this point - i'd like to think we will be in a regional at Chapel Hill or Charlottesville or maybe Columbia or Clemson. The bubble is quite weak this year.

Kendall Rogers, a college baseball expert seems to think we still have a chance to sneak in: www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=5720We are obviously listed in the section of those hurting their cases, but then he says we should still make it. That might mean being shipped out somewhere, but usually you get shipped when there are not enough nearby regionals and there are tons of teams in the area who will host. My guess would be 3 seed in UVa or UNC. Fingers crossed of course.

Gonna be even tougher now as Georgia won enough to be eligible and TCU was upset in the final by New Mexico who won under 40% of their games this year. My guess is one of first 2-3 out.

Honestly, I'm not very optimistic about our chances......I don't think we'll get in this year.
We'll find out tomorrow.
