Yesterday Penders could afford to get Thad Phillips back in the lineup. Now he can't so it is back to the regular lineup. As for Jeff Kersten, let's see what we have today with him. He needs to be on.
 
Wind is blowing straight out. And we know Kersten can give up the long ball. Keep our fingers crossed.

A good team can hammer Kersten if he doesn't have pinpoint control, and even then I have to wonder. And South Florida is a good team.
 
Double plays always help, especially for Jeff Kersten. Makes me feel better about the first batter of the game getting on base.
 
And a fly ball to Stefanski ends the top of the 1st with no score. Good start for Kersten.
 
Atta way, Prato! He really drove that double to the wall in LF. Makes me wonder about his pro potential, because he really doesn't imo have that power ability despite being very good on the field and with speed and having what I think is an elite hit tool.

All four teams remaining in the AAC tournament will get invites into the NCAA tourney. The only real question, aside from who becomes the tournament champ, is whether or not East Carolina, UConn, or possibly even South Florida get to host an NCAA regional.

Chris Jones says that South Florida did not submit a bid to host the first round of the NCAA tourney. So scratch them off as a host.
 
That's surprising considering they have a very good team this year and I'd think they'd want to avoid Gainesville or Tallahassee. Maybe they can draw Stetson or something.

Wild pitch scores Prato to make it 1-0 UConn in the 1st inning.

Chris Jones praising Prato's base running ability, as he was able to advance to 3B on a ground ball to short, enabling him to score on the wild pitch.

I don't understand why any school with a Top 25 RPI near the end of the season and a viable venue wouldn't bid to host. I'd be pissed if UCONN didn't.

True story. He always loses his helmet.
 
That was a bomb. Alas, close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades. USF leaves the sacks loaded without scoring.
