This team has picked the perfect time to get hot. They've come from behind in every game on the current win streak.
Tonight will be a real test and Elon will likely need a career performance on the mound. Only the 2nd time Elon has played in the winner's bracket on Saturday. Sounds like it will be a packed house.
Go Phoenix!

Headed to Charlottesville. Any good recommendations for bars to pregame or Elon tailgate spots?

I like the bats a lot. If we can get a good outing from Spencer Meddick then we have a real shot in this game.

Meddick is strong through 3 - no runs allowed yet. Elon coming up in the bottom of the 3rd in a scoreless game.

Half way through and UVa is up 2-0. Meddick has been pretty good in limiting this offense. Elon has had some opportunities but need a clutch hit to make something happen.

Getting men on base... Just can't get them in. UVa pitcher has had some big strikeouts when he needs them. Still 2-0 after 6.

REALLY great performance by Meddick - complete game 2 run effort. Rally caps on for bottom of the 9th. If anything saved the bullpen some pitches for tomorrow.

No dice - but an effort to be proud of. Will see UNCW again tomorrow in an elimination game. I think it is at 1pm.

First off, hell of job by Medick tonight. Pitched amazing and gutted it out.
I was really surprised that Kennedy did not press the issue offensively. We did not attempt one sacrifice or stolen base. We were in position to win this game and just could not get the hit that was needed.
Hats off to the UVA pitching staff. They were stellar as well.
Back at 'em tomorrow. Gotta battle.

Agreed, Medick did everything you could ask of him last night. I think Elon stranded 10 runners in the game at least, which is tough in a 2-0 loss.
Oh well, hopefully the team's confidence is still high today. That loss certainly wasn't a reflection of poor play, just ran into a buzz saw pitching staff.
Go Phoenix!

What a great game today as Elon defeats UNCW 6-4. Clutch hitting by Swim and solid relief pitching by McDonald and Pernell. Going to need our bats tonight against UVA. Good Luck Phoenix!!!!

Kinsella hit a 2 run homer in the first to get out to a quick start in this game. I think that might have been his first hit in the regional.

Great effort by the Elon baseball team in this regional; beat Wilmington twice to make it to the final. UVA is a great team that got the hits and some great pitching in that first game.
Given the ups and downs this season, making to the NCAAs was a heck of an accomplishment; making to the finals really impressive. Proud of this baseball team.
