Let's win two today!!
Let's Go App. St.!!
I would love for the starters to earn up some innings today. I’m not an expert but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, but I’d consider starting Peterson in Game 1 since he is shown consistent ability to pitch deep into games and can pitch out of trouble.
I know nothing about Troy pitching. But, for App. St. It would be help if we had MLB Double Header rules and each game was 7 innings.
I assume it's 9 in college.
From the Great Google:

MLB doubleheaders consist of two games played on the same day, often resulting from rainouts or rescheduled games. While historically seven innings, current MLB rules mandate that both games are full nine-inning contests. Teams are allowed a "27th man" for the roster on that day, and games typically have a 30–45 minute break between them.
Key Rules for MLB Doubleheaders:Game Length: Both games are 9 innings (7-inning games were used temporarily in 2020-2021).

Minor league baseball use 7 inning games for doubleheaders.

78 is correct. MLB is 9 innings. They only did it for a year

Why the hell would you throw down to 2nd on a steal with a guy on 3rd?... With one out.
Know the game situation catcher

Was on the phone for 25 minutes when the inning started. I'm gonna start calling random other people to keep up the juju.

Looked clearly safe at home to me. I thought for sure it would be overturned.

What a brain dead call to send 8. CF closer to plate and we have a slower runner trying to score from 2nd. We had potential to run rule these guys . Got to be smarter.. Good Grief!!

Yes, Smith was safe in my opinion.

Britt is always an aggressive third base coach. Sending Smith was the right call and it was a perfect throw, although there was no way he was out and there was no camera angle to overturn it.

Second send was a real bad decision. Good thing it came at the end of an 11-run inning.

The boys of Boone. This team grinds. Bunts, small ball. Manufactures runs in every way possible.

Let’s win the series and hope Troy finishes strong for RPI sake. These could be Q1 wins. They have Bama and UAB left OOC.
Might be cool to be a top 70 team
