Great news from this last weekend. The pitching has seemed to right itself. There was some clutch hitting. There was some power. For the most part the fielding was steady. None of the errors hurt.

We won all three games in our invitational versus good quality teams. Elon was 4-0 when Rice won Friday. Nebraska is a talented team which we beat 4-3 Saturday with the help of a controversial balk call in the bottom of the 8th. That helped Rice score the go ahead run. Sunday Rice beat a game Texas A&M - Corpus Christi team 7-2. It was 3-0, then 3-2, then Rice broke out late. They scored three or four runs in the bottom of the 8th. I think they scored one in the 7th and three in the eighth. Anyway it was close for a long time.

Doing this from memory I cannot remember the Friday pitcher. Saturday it was Taylor Wall and Tyler Duffey holding a tough hitting Nebraska team down. They scored 21 runs on T AM-CC Friday. Sunday it was Cingrani, the new junior transfer and Matt Reckling finishing. They did great.

So Rice is now 3-4 against tough competition. A few guys still have not started hitting. Some say heresy but I think Hague may get a day off soon.
