CMU beats WMU 5-2 this afternoon. The Broncos are gone. The Chips will play the loser of tonight's BSU-Kent game tomorrow. The winner of the BSU-Kent game gets a day off and won't play until Saturday. It appears that Kent held back on burning any of their regular starters against Western. They have their 3 regular rotation pitchers still available.

Note: if there is a ball to right field, the ESPN+ coverage may or may not be capable of locating that particular play. I guess it’s better than driving over there. Tournaments are brutal for a TV crew, especially when the pay is minimal. Probably whatever students are around for the summer. Not gonna get the best of the best, that's for sure.

Huge win today! Big Tex pitched an amazing game. Sitting in the driver’s seat now but we can’t waste this position again like last year. Hopefully Kent and CMU have a barnburner of a game tomorrow and waste some pitching.

Hopefully Kent and CMU have a barnburner of a game tomorrow and waste some pitching. I don't know that it would be wasting it. Kent still has at least 2 stud pitchers left and we are down to guys who have never been in this position before. But seriously, incredible to win these first two...obviously the only way we had a shot at this thing. This tournament is a war of attrition every year.

He had a great outing against Miami. Hope he can repeat. There'll be a short leash on him, depending on our offense's ability to provide a lead.

It didn't look like there were as many scouts at tonight's game as there were at last Friday's game in Muncie.
There had to be 15-18 scouts in Muncie to watch Kent's Whitman throw last week. Tonight, they got a bonus in seeing O'Donnell throw a gem against some very good hitters.

I think I remember McDermott benefitting from a great outing by pitching when the scouts were there to watch an opposing pitcher.

I mentioned yesterday how Rich’s batting order change appeared to be a huge positive. Peltier came up BIG against the MAC pitcher of the year. He had been really struggling lately.

Looks like Kent is saving their ace, Cruikshank, for Saturday's game. Cruikshank is their traditional Friday starter.
Whitman is technically their #2 guy, but is the MAC Pitcher of the Year.
Kent is pitching today's game by committee.

Go Cards Go...Keep your strike zone below the waist above the knees, hit the corners and go for the win!

What an absolute GEM of a performance. Only 107 pitches over 9 innings and no, NO, walks. Sure hope we can finish tomorrow.

Kent is pitching today's game by committee. Kent's coach did a helluva job making sure his ace was available for the championship game(s.) Gonna be a very tall task for us to get the one win we need.
