The green and gold side of the press box was with you in spirit. It makes the two heartbreakers to Tulane that much tougher to take, as the difference between 31-23 with 5 straight wins against the Top 10 and 29-25 with three straight big wins is huge. If we win 6 of our last 7, we'd be 35-26, plus whatever we do in the tourney. I don't know if that's enough, but I would think anything less surely isn't. How you're playing down the stretch is a factor, so if we can peak right now that would be perfect. If we can continue to have one pitcher step up every day (tonight it was Davis Bilardello with 2.2 scoreless innings to close it) and get some timely hitting, we might be able to make some noise down the stretch here. Three at Southern Miss (RPI 31), one at Stetson (RPI 57), and three more against Criminati (RPI 162) to finish it off. We were #63 before just taking two off #6.

Guest UCFKnightsO4 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 So I guess this means UCF is WAY better than the Gators! Just kidding! Mid week games don't matter. ;) Congrats, guys! Less Florida regionals means better chances for UCF and USF and maybe a fluke FAU/Stetson team to go out of Florida which means better chances for advancing to a Super.

After needing three eighth- inning runs to rally for an 8-7 victory Tuesday in Gainesville, the Bulls scored seven first-inning runs Wednesday and never looked back. It's the first time since 1994 the Bulls defeated the Gators on consecutive nights. ``These two games were big to get to the NCAA Tournament,'' Baisley said. ``[Monday] night was huge, and this one was icing on the cake.'' Baisley was 7-for-9 against UF, including three hits and an RBI Wednesday before 1,078 fans at Red McEwen Field. First baseman Justin Daniel (3-for-5, 1 RBI), second baseman Joey Angelberger (2-for-5, 2 RBIs), third baseman Jeff Baisley (2-for-4, 1 RBI) and right fielder Bryan Hierlmeier (2-for-4, 1 RBI) also had multihit games for USF. ``[Wednesday] was not a masterpiece by any means,'' USF coach Eddie Cardieri said. ``I lost count when we walked our 12th guy.'' The Bulls (29-25) led 8-2 through four. The Gators, behind Mike Pete's five effective innings of relief, closed within 8-5 before the Bulls added two runs in the seventh. ``Florida never quits and at 8-5, you just don't know,'' Cardieri said. ``You're saying, `Wait a minute, we can't blow this lead we had after the way the game started.' But we hung on.'' The Gators (32-17), who have lost six of seven, committed four errors. Second baseman Adam Davis had three of UF's seven hits, including his 10th homer. ``If [our] RPI can get in the 40s, that's going to enhance our chances,'' said Cardieri, whose club entered the game with a No. 56 RPI. ``If we can go into the Conference USA Tournament with 33 or 34 wins and win a couple, that will enhance our chances. If we can win eight of our last 10, we're going to have a shot.'' The Bulls, who have won three consecutive games, visit Southern Miss this weekend for three games and Stetson on Tuesday. USF closes the regular season at home against Cincinnati May 19-21. FLORIDA STATE 8, STETSON 4: Kevin Lynch pitched just 1 1/3 innings but improved his season record to 8-0 as Florida State (43-14) beat visiting Stetson (29-21) in non-conference play. It was Florida State's seventh straight win and the ninth in 10 games. Gibbs Chapman drove in three of the Seminoles' runs with three hits, including his ninth homer of the year.

Yea, but Walt eventually resigns and moves on to greener coaching pastures to be replaced by the big time, big name, alumni, professional coach.  Are you saying Tony LaRussa is gonna be the next coach for BaseBulls?!  Holy Toledo!   ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
