Mastrian in to pitch. Clearly this was the game plan
Tie game
And 2-1 BG
The game plan went awry.
4-1
Reports a bit thin there, Dan
Welp looks like we might be playing early tomorrow 6-1
Do not mess up my prediction boys. Rally!!!
Miami pulls 2 back and itās 8-3 middle of the 7th
10-3
And thereās that double digit run surrender we canāt allow and still be competitive. Itās just saving arms now for the possible long trip through the losers bracket.
12-4 loss. Will play Toledo at 10 am tomorrow. Winner plays the loser of Ball state vs Western Michigan right after the morning game
WMU won 8-0 meaning Miami will play Ball State if they beat Toledo
Excellent progress this year but we seriously lack quality pitching depth.
Miami seems to be setting themselves up for an epic comeback
This is not going great today. My prediction in grave danger!
We only need a touchdownā¦
We needed the touchdown. We kicked a field goal.
Toledo wins, 8-4.
Damn. My prophesy fails. Oh well. These guys had a great year and the future looks bright.
Bright indeed. If we can keep our top guns coming back next year (and thereās no reason we shouldnāt given the prospects for another big jump next season, unless, of course, a couple jump to the professional ranks before their eligibility runs out), I envision a push for the league championship. What a huge improvement in just a little less than one year! Pitching remains the weak link in the roster, but with arms like Olejnekās returning and most of the defense remaining in place, itās gonna be fun to see if we can nail down the starting rotation some more. I love Danny Hayden to death and wish him nothing but the best⦠but DANG that was a big tune-up to the old engine! Go 'Hawks in '25!
Outstanding season. Getting that team ERA down to about 5 or at least under 6 will be key.
