3 K's so far for Richardson.

For some reason, these post-season tournaments flip the home-away designations on the second day where the higher seed bats first. I think that rule needs to be changed, since there is a major strategic advantage to batting second, and the team that earned it should have the edge. In the BigEast tournment, they do a coin toss for the home designation on the final day -- complete garbage if you ask me.

Agreed. Higher seed should always be the home team. The only exception would be in a best-of-3 series (like in SuperRegionals) in which the higher seed should be home for game 1 and 3.

Nice double! Great to have the leadoff hitter in scoring position right away ...
