June 3 Game time
Miguel Santos: 3 HR, 9 RBI in DBap's rout and elimination of Oklahoma State .
Auburn is done via a 7-2 loss to USM. OK crushed Army to stay alive.
In more elimination games WV beat Ball St., UNC beat Wright St, ULL beat Maine, Cal-St-Fullerton beat San Jose St, and how about Santa Clara over Zona.
In a non -elimination game MD lost to Wake Forest 21-6. It still irks me losing to a Tobacco Road team. ACC memories don't go away.
June 4 2023
Oral Roberts beat DBAP to move on. USM has to beat Penn. CCU has to beat Duke .
George Mason, near the Pentagon, finished off my Terps, then turned around and lost to Wake Forest.

I wonder if we'll see Larry Bird at the Indiana St/TCU series.
I have friends near Hattiesburg so I'll keep an eye on the farewell tour of longtime USM coach Scott Berry. USM/Tenn.
Matt Hogan has 17HR, 65RBI for ORU who faces Oregon.
June 8, 2023
Indiana St @ TCU: Sycamores lost home field due to a Special Olympics event. Sears leads ISU with 19HR.
ORU @ Oregon: Ducks will need these guys healthy. Center fielder Colby Shade (wrist) and starting pitchers Jace Stoffal (finger) and Isaac Ayon (right arm)
Tenn @ S.Miss: Lot of focus on Tanner Hall, USM pitcher.
June 10, 2023
Hogan homered for ORU early, and they jumped out to a 8-0 lead, but the Ducks crept back for a 9-8 win. TCU beat Indiana St 4-1.
June 11, 2023
S.Miss is up 4-0 in suspended game1 with the Vols.
Yep, nice two run single by Quinn kept ORU alive.
TCU chopped down the Sycamores 6-4 to move onward. ISU out-hit TCU 10-6.
June 12, 2023
Vols rocked Tanner Hall(USM) in GM 2 to even that series.
ORU is the lowest seed to reach the MCWS since Stony Brook in 2012. ORU sure can hit the ball. They 'll face TCU in the battle of Christians.
Well, we're down to just ORU as far non power conference teams. Vols blanked USM 5-0 yesterday to head to Omaha. SEC(3) ,ACC(2), Big12, Pac12, and Summit each with one in the CWS.
Tide steals Terps head coach Vaughn.
June 15, 2023
ORU, UVA, Wake, LSU are my picks. I'm rooting for ORU but am aware that its pitching is suspect. ACC has been a solid baseball conference for a long time.
June 16, 2023
Got in from work in time to catch Denton, ORU's closer, make folks nervous in the bottom of the ninth, but he held on to a 6-5 win over TCU. Brothers hit a three run homer for ORU in a four run top of the ninth.
June 18, 2023
ORU faces FLA today and will need plenty of offense to beat the Gators.
TCU /VA: Loser is eliminated.
June 19, 2023
TCU eliminated UVA. FLA scored five runs on five hits in a 5-4 win over ORU. Three of the five Gators' hit were home runs.
Hogan hit an inside the park homer for the Golden Eagles.
June 20, 2023
Vols roared back to eliminate Stanford. Wake edged LSU and faces Tenn today in an elimination game.

A few of the non-P5 guys on the Team USA roster who will play in a pair of five-game series with Chinese Taipei and Japan from June 30-July 12 at various sites across the Carolinas.
Matt Ager; RHP; Pleasanton, Calif.; UC Santa Barbara
Trey Yesavage; RHP; Boyertown, Pa.; East Carolina
July 6, 2023
Plenty of P5 guys and few High school kids showing up in mock drafts, but I found one non-P5 kid getting props. 18. Brewers: Jacob Wilson, SS, Grand Canyon(WAC). His dad Jack played for the Pirates in the MLB.
MLB draft: July 9-11
July 10, 2023
In rd1 Wilson went to the A's at 6. Nolan Schanuel, 1B, FAU went to the Angels at 11. He batted .444.
Morehead State(OVC) first baseman Jackson Feltner was picked 235th by the DBacks, and Patrick Copen(Marshall) was selected by the Dodgers with 220th pick(round7)
July 11, 2023
Ok, too many players taken in the baseball draft to breakdown by conference. Sunbelt had its fair share. Also, a nod to ORU, the 2023 Cinderella, who had three kids drafted: Outfielder Jonah Cox, was drafted 166th overall by the Athletics. Star closer Cade Denton went just six picks later at 172nd overall to the Rockies. Left-handed pitcher Jacob Widener went 259th overall to the Royals.
