Xavier Baseball 2024

[X-band '01]

Xavier up 15-3 in the bottom of the 6th. Not sure why the mercy rule isn't in effect, but good to at least see both the bats and the pitchers having a good outing.

EDIT: Mercy rule applies once a team leads through 7 innings (or middle of the 7th with X leading).

Well, maybe if we get to the finals and lose the winner take all championship game? Just such a wasted opportunity.

UConn is all but certain to start Xavier killer Garrett Coe in the tournament opener. Gonna be a tall hill to climb, but not impossible. Coe himself was pretty shaky against Butler a couple days ago.

Then again, Xavier's rotation is a lot less stable that what it was going into the postseason last year. Alex Vera might even sneak into the rotation at some point as a starter; being a LHP does give X that option if need be.

Yeah, he gave up 7.
