We've got a good one here in Troy. Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns® Baseball gets 2 in T7 to cut Troy's lead to 5-4, with RBI singles from LaFleur and DeBarge after a Luke Yuhasz leadoff double. Jay Dill comes out of Troy Baseball ⚔️ pen, bumps 97 & makes great play on a hard comebacker to strand 2.

Brooks Bryan delivers again for Troy Baseball ⚔️, following up his 4th inning solo homer with a 2-run single off the RF wall on a 95 mph heater from nasty low-slot reliever LP Langevin. Troy surges ahead of Louisiana 4-2 with 3 runs in the 5th. Great atmosphere here.

WALK-OFF FINAL (10 inns): St. John's Baseball 3, Creighton Baseball 2.

WP - Sam Mettert (1-0); LP - Mason Koch (4-1).

Ben Beauchamp: 1-4, R, walk-off HR, RBI, BB.
Evan Chaffee: 5.1 IP, H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K.
Cade Lommel: 4 IP, H, 0 R, BB, 2 K.
Ben North: 2-4, R, HR, 2 RBI.

Well, that 1-0 Louisiana lead was short-lived. Troy Baseball ⚔️ cleanup man Brooks Bryan turns on a Chase Morgan fastball for a solo homer to left, and we're all tied up again, 1-1 in the 4th.

Kyle DeBarge led off the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns® Baseball 4th with a double off the LF wall, then displayed his speed by tagging and taking 3rd on a liner to center, and scored on a Caleb Stelly single. DeBarge is so fun to watch - also super smooth on defense at short. 1-0 Cajuns, B4.

I also really like what I'm seeing from Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns® Baseball freshman lefty Chase Morgan, who has thrown 3 scoreless frames as well. Works downhill from a high slot at 89-91 with feel to manipulate the shape and depth on his 78-82 breaking ball and a deceptive changeup.

Louisiana and Troy are scoreless in B3 here at Riddle-Pace. Troy Baseball ⚔️ RHP Luke Lyon looks very sharp, hitting spots and keeping hitters off balance with his 89-91 sinker, quality cutter and changeup. An error gave Cajuns a scoring threat in 3rd, but he calmly escaped.

Made it to Troy Baseball ⚔️ for Game 2 of this Sun Belt showdown vs Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns® Baseball. The new Riddle-Pace is just beautiful - was still under construction when I was here in the fall. Finished product is first class.

My report from Athens on a career day from Leighton Finley and Georgia Baseball's excellent plate discipline in an impressive overall team win against Vanderbilt:

d1baseball.com/at-the-ballpar…

FINAL: Georgia Baseball run-ruled Vandy 10-0, as Leighton Finley strikes out a career high 11 over 6 scoreless, and Brian Zeldin gets the last 3 outs, showing nasty stuff: 94-95 heater, sharp 84-85 slider and 87-89 cutter. Very good look at the Dawgs today.

And Georgia Baseball gets more production from its bottom third, as Paul Toetz goes the other way on a 92 mph Ryan Gunther fastball up and away, lofting it down the RF line for a 3-run homer. Dawgs now lead Vandy 8-0, and it's all smiles in Athens. Scary UGA offense doing its thing.

Georgia Tech scored 11 runs over the last three innings to stun Clemson and split today's doubleheader. We figured there would be at least one game like this in that series, and both these teams can win the ugly ones.

Fernando Gonzalez rips an RBI double down the LF line to chase Bryce Cunningham in the 4th - Georgia Baseball leads Vandy 5-0 now. Neat to see Gonzalez enjoying a career year as a senior; he's always been valuable for defense & leadership, but now he's a threat hiding down the order.

Made it to Athens after a typical #FittTravel misadventure (flying into Atlanta was a poor choice). Georgia leads Vandy 2-0 after 2 innings, as Charlie Condon homered in the first and the Bulldogs get another run on an RBI fielder's choice in the 2nd.

Good stuff here from Mike Rooney, who argues that in the short term, we should use the new Diamond Sports Ranking (DSR) from 643 Charts as a sanity check to guard against over-reliance on RPI. He examines 6 teams who have wide gaps between the 2 metrics:

Had my eye on this game tonight -- a big win for UNCW Baseball's at-large resumé. Seahawks are now 2-0 vs. NC State and have other quality midweek wins at Wake and vs. Coastal, along with their huge road series win at Northeastern. RPI up to 45 after this win. Nice body of work.

Pretty insane day for Lyle Miller-Green - who is also having a pretty insane year.
