After an 11-3 win over the Johnnies, X needs to beat Creighton twice to take the BIG EAST title. First game at 6:00 tonight (Saturday) at Prasco Park.
Bats broke out in a big way this afternoon - Luke Franzoni hit a pair of 2-run homers and Jake Shepski added a grand slam in the 8th to lead Xavier to an 11-3 win over the Johnnies today. Creighton now awaits the Muskies at 6 PM tonight.
EDIT: Game will now start around 6:30 due to a thunderstorm passing in and around Mason.
Nick Zwack does not appear to be the man for the job today.
Our guys are battling. You've got to give them credit for that. Down 7-6 in the 5th. Thought it might get away from them when Creighton grabbed a 4 run lead in the 4th, but not yet at least.
terrible way to lose. i don't know why altenberger stopped. did the worst possible thing he could've there
Looked like a safety squeeze (not a suicide squeeze) was on for the 9th inning.
Nonetheless, helluva an effort by the team this weekend. Just not quite enough against a Creighton team that, to their credit, finally exorcised their Xavier/Big East demons.
UC won the AAC Tournament today (assist to Wichita State for clearing the way by beating top 10 East Carolina twice). UC is going to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1974. Apparently Googs is a wizard.
2x $$
Should I be amused or sad that Scott Googins might make the Sweet 16 in only his 2nd year at UC while Mick Cronin managed only one such appearance in 13 years?
